  • I'm a new soul, workin' my way down an old road
    Asphalt churches all around
    Roots break through this deep foundation
    Can't find my place on solid ground

    No one taught me how to let go
    Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
    And you can't speak what you don't know
    That's for sure

    So, don't wait up for me, I don't need your searchlight
    While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
    Yeah, it's alright
    I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
    I don't know where I'll land
    But I don't need your searchlight to see anymore

    Raindrops fall and they feel like the open ocean
    Spiderwebs shimmer in the dark
    These movies play out in slow motion
    Cobwebs linger in the heart

    No one taught me how to let go
    Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
    But you can still learn what you don't know
    That's for sure

    So, don't wait up for me, I don't need your searchlight
    While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
    Yeah, it's alright
    I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
    I don't know where I'll land
    But I don't need your searchlight to see anymore

    I'm a new soul, workin' my way down an old road
    Just lookin' for a place on solid ground

    So, don't wait up for me, I don't need your searchlight
    While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
    Yeah, it's alright
    I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
    I don't know where I'll land
    But I don't need your searchlight to see anymore Writer/s: Brent Smith, Dave Bassett, Eric Bass
