Lyrics
THERE'S NO EMBERS, IN THIS FIRE,
TIME IS HEAVY, ON MY MIND
WHEN THINGS WERE OVER, AND I LOOK DOWN,
I SAW MYSELF, ABOVE THE GROUND.
I THOUGHT I KNEW THIS LOVE.
YOU'RE THE SWEETEST ONE I'VE SEEN, THAT COULD COME CLOSE
ENOUGH TO HALF WAY LOVIN ME.
AND IT'S NOT WORTH IT ANYWAY, TO KEEP A HOLD OF ALL THE
LITTLE THINGS THAT FRAY,
I'M TRAVELIN LIGHTER AND LIGHTER THESE DAYS
I THOUGHT I TRIED, TO FILL THE GAPS
ALL THAT SPACE, FELL IN MY LAP.
DO I KNOW, WHERE I WENT WRONG
I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT THAT STRONG
I GUESS I'LL BE MOVIN ON.
ARE GETTING EASIER, THESE DAYS, ARE GETTING BRIGHT, THESE DAYS,
COME AND GO EACH NIGHT, THESE DAYS, I'M TRAVELIN LIGHT.
