Know this, it's a universal truth
People let you down
So reach out for the things that you can use
Buried in the ground

I think I've been misunderstood
Not all my choices have been good
In the fading light
So we should put this one to bed
Before it bursts out of my head
Ready for the fight

When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

Inside of another tiny life
Full of big ideas
It strikes me with the baggage left behind
I could dry those tears

All of my secrets they are free
Now watch them tumble out of me
Into better days
So save those homiletic tones
And conjure singing from the moans
And you'll hear me say

When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

So step away from castle walls
Those voices calling in the halls
They are moving on
So I'll keep my side of the street
Cleaner than where our pounding feet
Ever walked upon

When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
