Chris Parkin - On My Way Lyrics

Have you lain there in silence
Not able to sleep
Those early morning hours
That should be filled with dreams
'Cause Lord knows I have
All these nights
So let's look at this picture
We've painted it ourselves
You're Van Gogh, I'm Rembrandt
And all these colors overwhelm
Each fighting for the light
But finding shade
So let's put down the brushes
Wipe the canvas clear
And I'm all ears
But you can't open up your heart
And if this is where we're heading through the years
I'll be sincere
Then I just can't take part
'Cause I've fallen one too many times
And now I've finally realized
It's not the ground that's tripping me
But this weight that I can't carry, so
Let's have this final dance
Before it gets too late
Then you'll stay where you are
And I'll be on my way
My mind runs over the memories
The day when we first met
Those summer nights on the boardwalk
Are each a movie in my head
But the reel is out of film
The theater's dark
I've given myself chances
And we know you've had yours
To go and search for answers, yeah
To try and find the cure
But it's not us who's sick
It's what we have
So let's put down the brushes
Wipe the canvas clear
And I'm all ears
But you won't open up your heart
And if this is where we're heading through the years
I'll be sincere
Then I just can't take part
'Cause I've fallen one too many times
And now I've finally realized
It's not the ground that's tripping me
But this weight that I can't carry, so
Let's have this final dance
Before it gets too late
Then you'll stay where you are
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
On my way
I'll be on my way
And so, leave the pictures on the shelf
Don't let them fade to gray
'Cause you'll be where you are
And I'll be on my way
