Dermot Kennedy - Outgrown(2020)

So we'll call it all believing in the art
It's evidence and remnants of a spark
A strong belief there'll be a better part
When the hoping ends

All these memories get written in the scars
Now every dream is left among the stars
Force that dreaded raven to depart
When the snow begins

I'll be all-out lonely,
If you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential
Should have raised up, but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me,
If you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown
That's the way it is

So I try to chase those days and never catch them
I'll try to walk the other way and learn detachment
Raise the eyes you saved for me
And all the laughter you used to hold me in

I'll just let go of love that others dream to capture
I'll never know another feeling like your rapture
I'm gonna go, I gotta be here in your absence
Now this poem has ended

I'll be all-out lonely,
If you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential
Should have raised up, but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me,
If you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown
That's the way it is

That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
That's why I'm let down, let down, honey

That night, that drive,
Felt like every single wolf was around us
That night was so quiet
Felt like all the trees were keeping the sound out
So hold me right, I'll cry
Didn't I promise you this moment would come?
Alright, you got a pretty way of keeping the sound out

I'll be all out lonely,
If you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential
Should have raised up, but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me,
If you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown
That's the way it is

That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
