[Verse 1]
Well, you come out of nowhere like a small-town force of nature
A greater generation coming back to show its face
Long before the world would ask you what you had to offer
On some old busted banjo picking out “Amazing Grace”

[Chorus]
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
A heart that’s cut wide open, like a child that’s gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I’m still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
[Verse 2]
Well, I don’t know a world without you, but I’m safe in saying
The contrast and the color woulda lost their clarity
That old piano going out of tune with no playing
In the bedroom of a farmhouse built in 1923

[Chorus]
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
Like a heart that’s cut wide open, like a child that’s gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I’m still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away

[Verse 3]
Well, I could spend a lifetime making something out of sorrow
But I will not trade tomorrow for a pain I feel today
So I pull my collar closer and I let the wind blow by me
I’ve got no tears left to cry about the world that’s gone away

[Chorus]
Find me in the darkness past the bridges I left broken
Feel like a heart that’s cut wide open, like a child that’s gone astray
Forgive me of my nonsense, I’m still out here chasing shadows
And searching for a light I never thought would go away
