Do you remember when silver
Was gold?
And the world was lighter and easier to hold?
And all our questions had an answer
All our problems had a veil
And all our heroes had the devil by the tail?
Goodness is lonely, the truth is cold
And the world got heavy and the story got old
And all our answers gave us questions
And the silver chord was cut
And the devil paid our heroes to shut up
Heaven help me
Where the hell have you been?
You were the only thing that was ever making sense
In the valley of the shadow
In the midnight of the soul
You're an outlaw from the things you love the most
And i wanted home so bad
It made me a vagabond
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
My heart is heavy in the future
So i'm told
The more i found out the less i really think i know
And all those times i thought i had an answer
Now i wish i hadn't spoke
Words have a way of sayin nothing, you know?
A storm through a pillow and not for a dream
Silence has a way of talkin', to me
And i'll fall with an angel
Till the morning finally came
Still feel like im waiting on a name
Heaven help me, where the hell have you been?
You were the only thing that was really making sense
And i love you
And i hate you
I want to carry on your fire
Yeah believe me if you want but i'm a liar
And i wanted home so bad
It made me a vagabond
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
Heaven help me, where the hell have you been?
You were the only thing that was ever making sense
I'm a prophet with no prediction
I'm a truth told through fiction
I want you, i want you
Amen
And i wanted home so bad
It made me a vagabond
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
Yeah you said this won't be easy
But come on
