The Only Thing Keeping Me Here by Widmore Lyrics
[Intro: Ruel James]
You know, for all the promises you’ve made
I still can’t believe things never changed
All those words you said to me
I try to make myself believe that you’re not blind
I just never got the chance to find out
[Verse 1: Jeremy Richardson]
Why won’t these words still curb
This numbing in my veins
And my willingness
To accept these indefinite silences
[Chorus: Ruel James]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Verse 2: Jeremy Richardson]
And all these promises I’ve made
Have been spoken by a man i’ve never seen
I don’t see myself anymore
Just an image of the man I was
[Hook: Ruel James & Jeremy Richardson]
I feel it washing over me in waves
This time I hope to stay
(It’s already been so long
That I’ve been stuck in the same place)
This sense of meaning
Is the only thing keeping me here
And these thoughts that i’ve learned to fear
Are slowly leaving
But with everyday
We’ll find our way
[Chorus: Ruel James]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Bridge: All]
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent
[Bridge: Jeremy Richardson]
Was it all a waste?
And did you waste away?And all the times you tried to make a change
Was it all a waste?
And am I to blame?
[Chorus: All]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Outro: Jeremy Richardson]
Oh, please
Tell me it was worth the pain
All the friends I’ve lost
And the habits I can’t tame
I am the only one to blame
You know, for all the promises you’ve made
I still can’t believe things never changed
All those words you said to me
I try to make myself believe that you’re not blind
I just never got the chance to find out
[Verse 1: Jeremy Richardson]
Why won’t these words still curb
This numbing in my veins
And my willingness
To accept these indefinite silences
[Chorus: Ruel James]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Verse 2: Jeremy Richardson]
And all these promises I’ve made
Have been spoken by a man i’ve never seen
I don’t see myself anymore
Just an image of the man I was
[Hook: Ruel James & Jeremy Richardson]
I feel it washing over me in waves
This time I hope to stay
(It’s already been so long
That I’ve been stuck in the same place)
This sense of meaning
Is the only thing keeping me here
And these thoughts that i’ve learned to fear
Are slowly leaving
But with everyday
We’ll find our way
[Chorus: Ruel James]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Bridge: All]
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent wasting away
All of the time we spent
[Bridge: Jeremy Richardson]
Was it all a waste?
And did you waste away?And all the times you tried to make a change
Was it all a waste?
And am I to blame?
[Chorus: All]
Can you guide me home?
I’ve been waiting for so long
For things that will never come
All the time that I’ve spent
Always running from the end
I just came back to find out
If you’ve got it in you
[Outro: Jeremy Richardson]
Oh, please
Tell me it was worth the pain
All the friends I’ve lost
And the habits I can’t tame
I am the only one to blame
