Washed Ashore

Letting the embers fade away I'm breathing fresh air Sometimes blindsided by the past And the mistakes I've made Feeling gratitude for the disasters that led me to you To be young Is false freedom To be in love I bit the forbidden apple and oh boy how I paid I saw the garden and then I was taken away My old self died and wrote myself a note to say (Don't let go of those childish dreams my boy) So tell me baby what's changed? Those memories they still remain I exhale the pain Caught under a wave and washed ashore I'm here now to stay Lying back on forever beach now baby kiss my stained last name To be young Is false freedom Not like being in love I gave the devil a reason to take me there I've got to admit I'm still a little scared My old choices they haunt me in the mornings but Then I thank god that I messed up After all that's happened And everything that's made me I've made it out and left some behind Now the only problem that I have is the sadness in not wanting it to end
