about

This was inspired after a breakup as well as breaking my back mountain biking where the ER doctor sent me home saying, "Let pain be your guide".

lyrics

I can’t change the things that happened
No one ever will
I’ve been trying to keep my wandering eyes
Focused on the hill
Of hope and healing heartache
And long forgotten dreams
And how to find connection in the spaces in between

CHORUS
We all know - what we know what we know what we know
We all feel

Would you be my validation - when I am insecure
Would you be my compass - when direction is unsure
Would you fill these lonely places that no one else can see
So I can rise above to where - my broken self won’t be

I think I found my people - the ones that make amends
The ones that help you see the other side when there’s an end
The kind of light-heart jokers who can smile through the pain
They know the kind of joy that no one else can take away

BRIDGE
Would you stay
Because I hate it when you leave
I can’t wait
But I’ll let pain be my guide - in your hope I’ll hide

LAST CHORUS:
Would you be my validation - I am insecure
Would you be my compass - when direction is unsure
Would you fill these lonely places that no one else can see
So I can rise above to where - my broken self won’t be
Yes I will rise about to where my broken self won’t be
