Clear at Last

[Verse 1]
Used to rush the days
Chasing every loud distraction
Tried on every face
Just to get a small reaction
Mirror like a maze
I was guessing who I’m seeing
Smiling through the haze
Heart was here
But I was leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Every wrong turn
Burned a little brighter in me
Every slow year
Pulled a secret out of hiding
Didn’t make sense
Till I learned to breathe inside it
Now I see it
[Chorus]
It took time
But I’m clear at last (hey!)
All that waiting
All that crash and laugh
Every stumble drew this perfect map
To right here
Right now
I was lost in everybody’s plans
Now I’m dancing in my own two hands
All that noise just faded into glass
And I see straight through
I see straight through me now
[Verse 2]
Made a list of dreams
That were never really mine
Busy chasing beams
From somebody else’s shine
Now I wake up slow
Ask my heartbeat what it’s needing
Little yeses grow
Into fireworks I’m keeping
[Pre-Chorus]
Every late night
Talking to the ceiling
Crying
Every small “no”
Was a quiet revolution
Didn’t look big
But it cracked the old illusions
Now I feel it
[Chorus]
It took time
But I’m clear at last (oh yeah)
All that waiting
All that crash and laugh
Every stumble drew this perfect map
To right here
Right now
I was lost in everybody’s plans
Now I’m dancing in my own two hands
All that noise just faded into glass
And I see straight through
I see straight through me now
[Bridge]
Hands up high
I forgive that girl who tried (tried, tried)
She was doing what she could to survive
Now she’s glowing in my eyes (my eyes)
I was the clue I couldn’t find
[Chorus]
It took time
But I’m clear at last
All that waiting
All that crash and laugh
Every stumble drew this perfect map
To right here
Right now
I was lost in everybody’s plans
Now I’m dancing in my own two hands
All that blur turned into shining glass
And I see straight through
Yeah I see straight through me now (hey!)
I see straight through
I’m so clear
So clear now
