In the springtime of '17
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I dream
Of what I swore I once would be
Funny how life took the pilot seat
When least expected, it swept me away

In the night time of 23
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I'm wondering
What life would look like had you and me
Kept every promise, only were honest
Honestly, I wonder where we'd be

But this is where I am now
This is where I made my home and
This is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie away and pray to God for strength to carry on

In my year of 24
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I sing
And most of my songs are lyrically inspired
By the times we had and times we never got to see
And I grieve

In this moment of 25
Here's a snapshot photo into my life
I grew fast and grew up wise
It hit me hard like a punch in the eye
If you just want a simple life, then good luck, baby
Go ahead and try

But this is where I am now
This is where I made my home and
This is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie away and pray to God for strength to carry on
Yeah, yeah

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
My dear, my dear
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
My dear
Where do you take your heart
When all that once was clear
Is no longer clear?

And this is where I am now
This is where I made my home and
This is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie away and pray to God for strength to carry on, yea-eah
This is where I am now
This is where I made my home and
And this is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie away and pray to God for strength to carry on

Yea-eah, strength to carry on
Yea-eah, strength to carry on
Yea-eah
