You should know I’ve made my mistakes

I’ve been left on my own

I’ve run from myself catchin’ late rides home

I’ve pretended so much

I’ve lied to be loved

I’ve tried to be someone worth someone

And I’ve tripped on petty things

And I’ve kissed some pretty things

And I’ve slept with someone just to feel

the warmth their body brings

I’ve dreamt and I have fallen

I am the lawless son

They said watch it, young gun

You’re gonna get knocked down

And boy, have I

I got bullet holes like polkadots

Like a spider’s dozen eyes

They said watch your back

Your thoughts have knives

My shadow hunted me like the wildebeest and the lion

So yeah, I got wounds

And I got bruises like everybody do

Yeah, I’ve been through it

I’ve been lost inside the dark I see in you

 

You’re gonna find your way

You can find your way

 

‘Cause at the end of every road

You’ll find you in the same mind

And you’ll see whatever glows

Is just color for your eyes

So all that leads to gold

If those storybooks were right

Would have the X mark the soul

‘Cause what’s hidden inside

Is your euphoria

 

Some wake up in pain

With nothing to blame for the low

Before the grind of the day can give them time to erode

Thinkin’ - why was I made

Without a light of my own

My horizon betrayed a sunrise I’ve never known

And I’m tellin’ you there’s shine

Hidden in your eye

Some see the sun

And others need to will it to their sky

So get up, Carolina

Sometimes the lawless son

who needs a light becomes one

 

You’re gonna find your way

You can find your way

 

‘Cause at the end of every road

You’ll find you in the same mind

And you’ll see whatever glows

Is just color for your eyes

So all that leads to gold

If those storybooks were right

Would have the X mark the soul

‘Cause what’s hidden inside

Is your euphoria
