Hello Lyrics

I heard the great message, it had nothing to say

But go back home, wait, fast, and pray

For something to show its face to you

It's not what it seems, though it seems like a call

It's a backwards tradition that's starting to fall

But hold me up

I'll hold you, too

I am writing you now, with years of silence under my belt

I'm not trying a thing but to say hello

You struggle to speak before such a crowd

It bows you backwards, but now you can

An arrow with your frame

This hurt has a purpose again

And you're living the life that you always wished for

But it isn't exactly a beach on a shore

It's a struggle and fright

As you carefully carry your light

I am writing you now, with years of silence under my belt

I'm not trying a thing but to say hello

What was the secret you held for so long?

Avoiding eye contact, avoiding the sun

You wanted to shout but you did not

Afraid to be called crazy or worse

That you'd be all alone

I am now sold, they pay by the pound

Folks coming from miles just to heard the sound

Of machine crushing my bone

Now, I'm exactly where I always wanted to be

Lost on the road, driving for miles

The paved turns to gravel, the gravel to grass

But I don't feel alone

I am writing you now, with years of silence under my belt

I'm not trying a thing but to say hello

And after this show awaits, it breathes on my face

It fills me up with life, though I've given

My life just to say hello
