Well, I push my load across the land
Livin’ the life of a travelin’ man
Dusk brings down another day
Gonna swallow up time and throw it away

Zero to sixty, she’s the next big thing
They tell me it’s a steal
Drive all night just to ease the pain
Don’t look away
Stay steady at the wheel

You try to sing a familiar tune
Howlin’ the words under a bloodshot moon
Blacklight troubadour, push on through
As heartbreak sits right next to you

Zero to sixty, she’s the next big thing
They tell me it’s a steal
Drive all night just to ease the pain
Don’t look away
Stay steady at the wheel

Steady at the wheel 4 months ago

No ones sees it coming
And no one walks when they should’ve been running,
Nothing hurts like knowing you’ve tried.
And we can see how years can slip away
In the cold dark nights and the long hard days
But nothing aches quite like goodbye. 9 months ago

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby you don’t know me, cause you’re dead wrong

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn’t think that I’d come back
I’d come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I’m not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I’m finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end…

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

[2x]
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone 15 months ago

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you’ve already figured out

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they’re still looking for life

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain (in the pain), is there healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’)
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m hangin’ on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven’t forgotten my way home

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain(In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’),
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’),
I’m barely holdin’ on to you 17 months ago

Last week everything seemed do-able
Last week everything seemed fine
Then the world rolled around one time too many
And now I’m running just to keep time

God don’t give you more’n you can handle
Least that’s what I’ve heard’em all say
Well I wish he didn’t have so much faith in me
Wish there were some other way

Well, things keep on getting better
And bigger and cooler it seems
But some days I ain’t sure I can handle
Being the man of my dreams

Well my buddy once asked the question -
“What’d you do when all your dreams have come true?”
At the time it seemed like a stupid notion
But I wish that I’d a thought it through…

It got worse before it got better,
And now the future’s so bright I can’t see.
Just how the hell I’m gonna pull off
Being the man that I always wanted to be

Well, things keep on getting better
And bigger and cooler it seems
But some days I ain’t sure I can handle
Being the man of my dreams

Sometimes things get overwhelming
Dreams are born and hopes die with such speed
Joy and pain curled right up together
Sorta sucks the life right out of me

Putting one foot in front of the other
Doing just what I can do
And with God, and you people, and a little on my own
I just might make it through 21 months ago

Lonely are the free
‘Cause there ain’t that many of them
They don’t walk like you and me

They just tumble in the breeze
Lighter than a feather
All together, separately

That’s how it’s s’posed to be
No matter where they wander
From post to in between,
From here to over yonder,
There’s no place for them to land
Lonely are the free

The silent are the strong
Not so much as a whisper
Tells you anything is wrong

You’ve known all along,
But you can’t help but listen
And now the moment’s gone.

It keeps you hanging on
Until the stillness signaling
The breaking of the dawn,
Is shattered by the sirens
Singing sacrificial songs

The silent are the strong.

That’s all they used to see
A violent shadow passing ‘cross
The sun so fleetingly
That if you have to ask you miss it
Anyway you see
Lonely are the free
Lonely are the free 23 months ago
