[Verse 1]
Taking longer than I need to figure myself out
Finding out I'm better off alone
This could be the happiness that people sing about
This could be what they mean by home
In the Pedernales River, I give back all my tears
Go back home and sleep with my guitar
I love myself so deeply now, I finally can forgive
Myself for thinking I could do no wrong

[Verse 2]
I can't live another day beneath such guilt and shame
Even though I know I have done wrong
Watching big religions vanish like a flame
Let's learn forgiveness before the teacher's gone
Truth without its music, breath without its lung
See them argue 'til the face turns blue
I thought you could see the system as clear as you see me
Now I wonder, did I ever see you?

[Verse 3]
Finding out the fire in my soul is very real
And it can burn up sickness like a dream
All this secret information written in a kiss
And given by the one who'd kiss me
[Verse 4]
I know what to do now, as a great man once proclaimed
In a way I always knew this day would come
No one said it would be easy but come to think of it
No one said it has to be hard
