The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some mornings I pray for evening
For the day to be done
Some summer days I hide away
And pray for rain to come
It turns out hell will not be found
Within the fires below
But in making do and muddling through
When you've nowhere else to go
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
Some days I wake up dazed my dear
And I don't know where I am
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand
And I stand alone in airport bars
And gather thoughts to think
That if all I had was one long road
It could drive a man to drink
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out
But you stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned
That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words
And then I catch myself
Catching your scent on someone else
In a crowded space
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place
But then I remember you
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
And if you remembered me
You could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
