[Verse]
G Em7
I am searching for something
Cadd9 D
that I cannot see,
G Em7
Don’t know where it is,
Cadd9 D
don’t know how it’ll feel.
G Em7
Don’t know where to look,
Cadd9 D
don’t know if I should flee,
G Em7 Cadd9 D
This quest is unending, do I want to be free?
[Pre-chorus]
G Em7
It is cold and I am alone,
Cadd9 D
warming up and sipping tea,
G Em7
This quest is unending,
Cadd9 D
but I’m doing it to be a better me,
G Em7
My brother always told me
Cadd9 D
to be honest and loyal,
G Em7 Cadd9
I didn’t keep my promise, and now I hear
D
him quietly saying “I told ya.”
G Em7 Cadd9 D
[Chorus]
G Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9 D
that’s what I want to know,
G Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
Cadd9 D
now the years have passed and I have
grown.
G Em7
I left them alone in the worst of times,
Cadd9 D
without knowing that I did,
G Em7
I am trying hard to fix it,
Cadd9 D
but it’s like a puzzle where a piece doesn’t fit.
[Verse]
G Em7
Maybe I have to pay em a visit,
Cadd9 D
maybe that is the way,
G Em7
To regain an old friendship,
Cadd9 D
that was still going on last May.
G Em7
There is still hope, and I’m still marching forward,
Cadd9 D
thinking about how it’ll be,
G Em7
To see my old friends again,
Cadd9 D
and to tell them that I am a better me.
G Em7 Cadd9 D
[Pre-chorus]
G Em7
Smile on my face and getting closer
Cadd9 D
to where I want to be,
G Em7 Cadd9
Excited to say hello and feel the warmth
D
of their friendship inside of me.
G Em7
Have they forgotten me, or am I still known,
G Em7
Do they appreciate the fact that
Cadd9 D
I’ve come so far alone?
[Chorus]
G Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9 D
that’s what I want to know,
G Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
Cadd9 D
now the years have passed and I have
grown.
G Em7
I’ve been feeling lonely for way too long,
Cadd9 D
I need someone to keep me close.
G Em7
This is the moment of ultimate relief,
Cadd9 D
knowing that my friends are pleased.
G Em7 Cadd9 D
[Chorus]
G Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9 D
that’s what I want to know,
G Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
Cadd9 D
now the years have passed and I have grown.
G Em7 Cadd9
I couldn’t wish for anything more, to be safe
D
in this house up in the north,
G Em7 Cadd9
Playing board games all day long, not a thing
D
that’s going wrong.
G Em7
Feeling that feeling I’ve had for so long,
G D
Has come back to me in a form that’s
G
just as strong.
