on Holding on to Who We Were (2019), The Way We Live (2017)

[Verse 1]
Don't know where I'm going
But I can't forget where I have been
I've been chasing ghosts
But I'll never know what they want from me

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their breath
They disappear before I hear
What they're trying to tell me

[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own

[Verse 2]
Who will save me me when I'm underneath these clouds again
Losing myself in the same routine
Always chasing ghosts

[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel their breath
They disappear before I hear
What they're trying to tell me

[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own

[Bridge]
I know it's hard to understand
But you should know, you should know
There's no changing who I am
Where are they now?
Who will lift this weight from me?
Voices they call but I have no company

[Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
Why do I still dream of you
When I'm better on my own

[Outro Chorus]
Looking for a reason
Trying to find my way back home
In the end we just pretend
We're alive the way we live
