Blame the Ending - Stepped Away Back Then Lyrics

Stepped away back then when it got darkest
You'll never believe it, but I might be an artist
Can't finish what I've started
Can't change what doesn't need changing
Can't be any louder when we're all slowly fading
We've forgotten so much
But we remember more than we'd like
Just shaking our heads
Just shaking our days back into nights
Willing another door shut
Making each year feel like enough
One foot forward
Arms out for balance
Holding that humble carpenter's chalice
A last supper, shooting stars through eyelids
A humble finale
Tumbling down from mountain peak to flooded valley
Wires running between continents
We're so connected
No more objections
No more complaints
Free of censorship, free of restraints
Everything a little calmer
These seas are set for sailing
And that sunset's golden
Your hand is all I'm holding
Don't forget we were here
Don't forget each careless moment
Don't use those rose-colored lenses
Don't put up any more fences
Let the kids make mistakes
Let the sky have its grays
Let our freedoms remain
Accessible every day
While we dance boldly
We're almost floating
So close to floating
Yelling at the moon
Changing like seasons
And you're asking so many questions
How did you get here
Where are we going
But there's a window to the west
A few birds flying, a few birds building a nest
And when we look out we're blinded
Our eyes adjust, our spaces fill up
We settle down and see the outlines
It feels like magic but passing
So we click and twist dials
Leaning in to hear God speak
Leaning in to more coffee
Hovering over a moving target
Of a laboratory
Or the wet market
Oh God just bring us home
Oh God just bring us home
Oh God just bring us home
Oh God just bring us home
