Coner McFarlin - Thank You Lyrics

I try to say exactly what I mean
I want to feel like a human being
Why is it so
Hard to let go?

Permanent things never really last
People and places fade into the past
I think the city was always gonna leave us behind
The cars and the lights are moving too fast
And anyone could tell cause we are all cast in shadows
I never really got the chance

I just wanna take a little time to say thank you

I try to say exactly what I feel
We can't afford to be insincere
All of this time
I tried to hide

Every single person in my life has shaped me
Strangers, teachers, friends, and family
I wronged some, lost some, never even knew some
Said a lot of things that I didn't really mean
I guess I could paint you an optimistic scene
Or I could spin a tale of a pessimist's dream
But I don't think either one really gets across what I want to say

I just wanna take a little time to say thank you
