the first song I have written in several years

So take a look and see
What it is that surrounds me
It's the constant thought of you
And what it would be
if you really knew

I swear
I swear (I'm gonna get back up)

I shatter those thoughts like waves
Crashing on shores and watching
Failure take cover
As my fears hit the floor

Oh I remember the way
You looked at me and said
"I'm sorry, I've got no time to explain.
I'm just leaving
for the fact that I can't pick the seasons.
I just don't feel right here at all."

Well frankly, I can't just leap
Over a thousand miles on faith
But I would've just to know that you were safe
Oh the sound of my name as it rolls of your tongue
It sounds so sweet, but I've got to move on.

(I'm gonna get back up)
I shatter those thoughts like waves
Crashing on shores and watching
Failure take cover
As my fears hit the floor
Cover my world in blue
As I learn to forget you
The days will pass, but you can't stop climbing
I'll move on one step at a time (one step at time)
Oh, and when I finally do
I know you'll be fine
Cause I have faith in you

I've made more mistakes than plans
I've delivered more lies than a mailman
I've gotten myself surrounded in this
This time it's sink or swim
For so long I've been blinded
By songs and thoughts of those summer nights
I have uncovered my world and woke up
I've got to get myself back up
All this time, my flaws were just qualities
18 months and I'm finally seeing me
After 700 days, I've learned so many things
After 24 years, my hands aren't shaking

I swear I'll get back up
to the floor that I fell from
that wasn't enough

I swear I'll get back to
The world I left so long ago
because of you

I swear I'll
I swear I'll
I swear I'll get back up (I swear to god)

I swear I'll
I swear I'll
I swear I'll get back up (I swear to god)

I swear
I swear
