I'm Not Asking

I’ll stay in
Watch TV
Drink just like I used to drink
And call you on your old phone

Can’t go back
Can’t go forward
Stuck inside this terrible storm
Swallowing the same sea

I’m not dreaming any big dreams
I’m not looking for a gold wedding ring
I know you’ve got walking feet
Always looking for a reason to leave
I’m not asking you to save me

This is where I made my bed
It’s no surprise I’ll lie in it
With someone who is long gone

And this old weight
It’ll fall
But for right now it’s all I’ve got
As I’m standing at your front door

I’m not thinking I will stay long
I’m not asking you to build me a home
Just a place I already been
Same old people saying the same wrong things
Same old story we always wrote
Same old open road with nowhere to go
I’m not asking you to save me

After the rain has all fallen
And the air is filled with gold
It feels like everything is new
With no excuses in my mouth
No promises left to doubt
It feels like everything is new
And I’m not asking you to love me
