Intro

Yeah

Eric

Well

Chorus

I don't need to lie no more

Nowadays all I do is shine, take a breath and ease my mind, and

She don't cry no more

She tell me that I get her high 'cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and

I ain't askin' "Why?" no more

Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines

It ain't 2009 no more

Yeah, I know what's behind that door

Verse 1

Yeah, okay, you gotta jump in to swim

Well, the light was dim in this life of sin

Now every day I wake up and breathe

I don't have it all but that's alright with me

Take it nice and easy, took a flight to see me

Send you back home with a light that's beamin'

The whole team 'bout to figure it out

We ice cold, that's what winter about

And sometimes, sometimes I wish I took a simpler route

Instead of havin' demons that's as big as my house, mhm

Have a ball with a dribble and bounce

'Cause the party ain't over 'til they're kickin' me out, yeah

Isn't it funny? We can make a lot of money

Buy a lot of things just to feel a lot of ugly

I was yea high and muddy

Lookin' for what was lookin' for me

Chorus

But I don't need to lie no more

Nowadays all I do is shine, take a breath and ease my mind, and

She don't cry no more

She tell me that I get her high 'cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and

I ain't askin' "Why?" no more

Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines

It ain't 2009 no more

Yeah, I know what's behind that door

Verse 2

Yeah, they ask me what I'm smilin' for

Well, because I've never been this high before

It's like I never felt alive before

Mhm, I'd rather have me peace of mind than war

You see, me and you, we ain't that different

I struck the fuck out and then I came back swingin'

Take my time to finish, mind my business

A life ain't a life 'til you live it, I was diggin' me a hole

Big enough to bury my soul

Weight of the world, I gotta carry my own, my own

With these arms, I can carry you home

I'm right here when you scared and alone, and I ain't never in a hurry

You don't ever gotta worry

Even when it's 7:30 and the time is runnin' low

When your heart get cold

See what's behind all them unturned stones

And I'm a pro when it come to my job

But really I'm just tryna start believin' in God

Now when it gets hard

I don't panic, I don't sound the alarm

Chorus

Because I don't need to lie no more

Nowadays all I do is shine, take a breath and ease my mind, and

She don't cry no more

She tell me that I get her high 'cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and

I ain't askin' "Why?" no more

Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines

It ain't 2009 no more

Yeah, I know what's behind that door

I don't need to lie no more

Nowadays all I do is shine, take a breath and ease my mind, and

She don't cry no more

She tell me that I get her high 'cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and

I ain't askin' "Why?" no more

Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines

It ain't 2009 no more

Yeah, I know what's behind that door
