Washed Ashore Lyrics

Letting the embers fade away

I'm breathing fresh air

Sometimes blindsided by the past

And the mistakes I've made

Feeling gratitude for the disasters that led me to you

To be young

Is false freedom

To be in love

I bit the forbidden apple and oh boy how I paid

I saw the garden and then I was taken away

My old self died and wrote myself a note to say

(Don't let go of those childish dreams my boy)

So tell me baby what's changed?

Those memories they still remain

I exhale the pain

Caught under a wave and washed ashore

I'm here now to stay

Lying back on forever beach now baby kiss my stained last name

To be young

Is false freedom

Not like being in love

I gave the devil a reason to take me there

I've got to admit I'm still a little scared

My old choices they haunt me in the mornings but

Then I thank god that I messed up

After all that's happened

And everything that's made me

I've made it out and left some behind

Now the only problem that I have is the sadness in not wanting it to end
