Lyrics for 2009

Yeah Eric Well I don't need to lie no more Nowadays all I do is shine Take a breath and ease my mind And she don't cry no more She tell me that I get her high 'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and... I ain't asking "Why?" no more Oh, no, I take it if it's mine I don't stay inside the lines It ain't 2009 no more Yeah, I know what's behind that door Yeah, okay you gotta jump in to swim Well, the light was dim in this life of sin Now every day I wake up and breathe I don't have it all but that's alright with me Take it nice and easy, took a flight to see me Send you back home with a light that's beaming The whole team about to figure it out We ice cold, that's what winter's about And sometimes, sometimes I wish I took a simpler route Instead of having demons that's as big as my house, mhmm Have a ball with a dribble and bounce 'Cause the party ain't over 'til they're kicking me out, yeah Isn't it funny? We can make a lot of money Buy a lot of things just to feel a lot of ugly I was yea high and muddy Looking for what was looking for me But I don't need to lie no more Nowadays all I do is shine Take a breath and ease my mind And she don't cry no more She tell me that I get her high 'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and... I ain't asking "Why?" no more Oh, no, I take it if it's mine I don't stay inside the lines It ain't 2009 no more Yeah, I know what's behind that door Yeah they ask me what I'm smiling for Well, because I've never been this high before It's like I never felt alive before Mhmm, I'd rather have me peace of mind and water See me and you, we ain't that different I struck the fuck out and then I came back swinging Take my time to finish, mind my business A life ain't a life 'til you live it I was digging me a hole big enough to bury my soul Weight of the world, I gotta carry my own My own, with these songs I can carry you home I'm right here when you're scared and alone And I ain't ever in a hurry You don't never gotta worry Even when it's 7:30 and the time is runnin' low When your heart get cold See what's behind all them unturned stones And I'm a pro when it comes to my job But really I'm just tryna start believin' in God Now when it gets hard I don't panic, I don't sound the alarm Because I don't need to lie no more Nowadays all I do is shine Take a breath and ease my mind And she don't cry no more She tell me that I get her high 'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and... I ain't asking "Why?" no more Oh, no, I take it if it's mine I don't stay inside the lines It ain't 2009 no more Yeah, I know what's behind that door I don't need to lie no more Nowadays all I do is shine Take a breath and ease my mind And she don't cry no more She tell me that I get her high 'Cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and... I ain't asking "Why?" no more Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines It ain't 2009 no more Yeah, I know what's behind that door
