CastoByte - NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE

Alternative metal, Dark Soul, Gothic Alternative Rock

STUDIO

Sun across the kitchen floor
I don't rush out the door

I used to wear a busy face
Like slowing down would cost my place
I'd finish one thing, start on two
And call that having made it through
I'd say "next week" to every friend
As if the weeks would never end
Kept putting off the life I'd planned
And watched it happen second-hand

Now there's a cup beside the sink
And room enough to hear me think
The day's begun, the sky is blue
I take my time. That's something new.

Nothing left to prove
Let the whole damn morning through
I don't have to earn the Stagelight
Or explain a better mood
I'm not giving up
I'm just choosing what I do
Still got plenty left to live for
And nothing left to prove

My friends still knock instead of call
We pull the chairs out from the wall
Somebody starts a tired old joke
I laugh so hard I nearly choke
There's work to do, there always is
But work won't get the whole of this
I leave the washing where it stands
And put a guitar in my hands

We miss a chord and start again
Nobody asks us where we've been
The room gets loud, the light gets low
For once, there's nowhere else to go

I still want things I've never tried
Still get it wrong, still change my mind
But wanting more can live beside
Being happy with my life

I don't need to clear my slate
Before I stop and take a break
The things I love deserve my best
Not just whatever strength is left

There's still work to do tomorrow
Let tomorrow have its turn
We've got one more song between us
And a few more chords to learn

There's a cup beside the sink
And a song we almost knew
Someone asks, "Same time next Sunday?"
Yeah. I've got time for you.
