[00:00.46]It's a long way up from rock bottom
[00:05.56]There's been times I felt I could fall further
[00:11.56]I have loved and lost and feared and prayed
[00:16.66]But now the day bursts wild and open
[00:25.22]I have cried tears at my brother's grave
[00:30.29]I have shaken hands with my wife's surgeon
[00:36.31]I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
[00:41.46]But now the day bursts wild and open
[00:50.10]There's a time to cry
[00:53.42]There's a time to fold
[00:56.77]There's a time for holding on and to let it go
[01:03.69]There's a time to run to the arms of hope
[01:10.54]And the day bursts wild and open
[01:21.05]I was raised by the church
[01:22.25]Choir boy still far from fizzling
[01:23.50]Not the pop star they say they prefer
[01:25.36]Kept quiet but I came to be heard
[01:26.82]Been a long time up top but I ain't complacent
[01:28.75]If I look down I can see replacements
[01:30.35]Late night drive with my heart beat racing
[01:31.95]Gotta make dreams and chase them
[01:33.62]Taken my fair share of that ridicule
[01:35.38]But the words are not applicable
[01:37.57]Catalogue formidable
[01:38.31]Me and that guy are in a different place
[01:40.02]Undefeated but that's tempting fate
[01:41.58]Two of them tried it I won both cases
[01:43.19]Won't get back all the time they wasted
[01:44.81]I am not losing steam
[01:46.31]In this world there's no relaxing
[01:47.78]I've been here since migraine skanking
[01:49.32]Never been cool but never been a has been
[01:50.80]I'd kip on your couch if you knew me back then
[01:52.76]Don't tell em 'bout the walls you're trapped in
[01:54.10]Got the keep this Usain pace
[01:55.80]Don't ask me how I got this break
[01:57.08]I built my own bricks through constant playing
[01:59.09]SB died couldn't stop this pain
[02:00.70]I look at the dots in space
[02:02.28]I wonder if he's proud
[02:03.70]Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
[02:05.30]Keep it together for my daughters
[02:06.40]Gotta come natural I don't wanna force it
[02:08.02]If it's not factual don't support it
[02:09.62]Every year gotta re-swim these waters
[02:11.26]Draw a line
[02:12.33]For the sake of all your family and friends
[02:14.39]Draw a line
[02:15.39]So history doesn't happen again
[02:17.57]Draw a line
[02:18.55]For the day to start the night has to end
[02:20.79]Draw a line
[02:21.77]For all of these ghosts
[02:24.85]Too high to fly this plane
[02:26.39]Too ****** to drive this range
[02:27.71]Can't remember the last time I was on my own without Kev
[02:29.79]It's kinda strange
[02:30.91]Not been the same since 19
[02:32.24]Now to push Ly on a swing I gotta wear disguises
[02:34.53]I'm up for trading life sometimes and that may surprise them
[02:37.54]Every stadium I played it
[02:39.11]But I would still do it for free
[02:40.41]Gotta keep standards top of the top of the tree
[02:42.21]Press still got problems with me
[02:43.80]And when school starts I might peace out
[02:45.43]Till then I keep chasing the dream
[02:46.89]I could end it but I don't wanna reach out
[02:48.71]Cause he means nothing to me
[02:50.02]Don't worry 'bout what I make
[02:51.32]Don't trip them up to win this race
[02:52.84]When your career's in a risky place
[02:54.42]Everything seems like a big mistake
[02:56.01]I'm still looking for **** to say
[02:57.56]Deluding myself that they still relate
[02:59.55]Depression I keep at bay tomorrow's a different day
[03:02.06]Me and that guy don't speak no more
[03:03.59]I know why but he's not sure
[03:04.60]So what is the reason for
[03:05.97]My heart's been broke so many times by loved ones
[03:07.74]That I don't even feel like talking
[03:09.88]So heed that warning
[03:11.22]Circle keeps getting smaller
[03:12.60]All I need is Chez and my daughters and a few friends to help me
[03:15.21]Draw a line
[03:16.33]For the sake of your little girls and their time
[03:18.41]Draw a line
[03:19.39]But allow yourself some moments to cry
[03:21.63]Draw a line
[03:22.60]And leave the past that hurt you behind
[03:24.82]Draw a line
[03:25.76]For all of these ghosts
[03:28.00]Draw a line
[03:28.98]Be grateful that you've been where you've been
[03:31.18]Draw a line
[03:31.78]And recognise the path that happened between
[03:34.41]Draw a line
[03:35.41]There's future here that's yet to be seen
[03:37.56]Draw a line
[03:38.38]Draw a line
[03:39.18]Draw a line
[03:39.98]Draw a line
[03:40.80]Draw a line
[03:41.58]Draw a line
[03:42.39]Draw a line
[03:43.18]Draw a line
[03:47.10]And the day bursts wild and open
