You're a silhouette
you fail and feel too upset
though I'm not sure what it is you'd expect
Just a shape I haven't colored in yet
I felt so slow
guided by a nameless glow
and a fortune I knew long ago
in a field full of flightless crows
You wake up one day and you don't recognize your face
and home is a place that feels so far away
I felt like I lost myself, I just lost my place
so I'll keep walking and I'll get a little closer every day

We forget

we fall and we're full of regret

C6 Fmaj7

you can say what you want when your heart

is controlled by your head

I felt so low

winded by a softened blow

C6 Fmaj7

but I won't even think about it

because it always gets better with time

CHORUS:

Am C Fmaj7

You wake up one day and you don't recognize your face

Am C Fmaj7

and home is a place that feels so far away

Am C Fmaj7

I felt like I lost myself, but I lost my place

Am Fmaj7 C

so I'll keep walking and I'll get a little closer every day

C G C6 Fmaj7 C

You're a silhouette

you fail and feel too upset

though I'm not sure what it is you'd expect

Just a shape I haven't colored in yet

I felt so slow

guided by a nameless glow

and a fortune I knew long ago

in a field full of flightless crows

You wake up one day and you don't recognize your face

and home is a place that feels so far away

I felt like I lost myself, I just lost my place

so I'll keep walking and I'll get a little closer every day
