Lyrics

Well I've been
around here way too long
Been trying to find my home
within these walls

And I tried
to be somebody else
but life won't lend itself
to what I want

You told me I was never meant to stay
And the trouble I feel is just part of the game
But I feel like I'm wasting away
So please can you show me
Just why I was meant to stay

I stepped off
the trail and looked for more
A place I could be restored
but now I'm lost

And I wonder
just how to pick me up
with just my sort of luck
I cannot tell

You told me I was never meant to stay
And the trouble I feel is just part of the game
But i feel like I'm wasting away
So please can you show me
Just why I was meant to stay

So please can you show me
Just why I was meant to stay

"Just show me why I was meant to stay".....you sir have some of the most amazing lyrics Ive ever heard. I got your disc and stuff a while back too.....love it! thanks again!! is this standard tuning?.....I wanna learn this song really bad!

[knorrby11]

@AddictedToTheStones thanks for the kind words. 1/2 step down tuning on this and most all of my songs. 

[cookiiemonshter434]

Is this a christian song? That's how I'm taking it..

"You told me I was never meant to stay" could mean God saying we're not meant to stay on this earth forever, but we are meant to stay for a certain amount of time, and we feel trouble for a little... ehhh maybe I could be totally wrong haha

:]

[knorrby11]

@cookiiemonshter434 not a christian song but if that's how it applies to you, then that is how music works.  It's supposed to be something different for everyone who listens.

Love the chord progression.

Pickup and mic go into what? PA? or computer?

[knorrby11]

@RT101894 going into a digidesign 003 and then into the computer
