Pull

from Shine by Justin Roth

lyrics

(CGDGBD - full capo 3rd fret, drop-D capo 8th fret)

I've got this fuel within me waiting to be burned
But somehow I lost the energy to trust my heart to turn
It's been bottled up for so long now somewhere in the dark
Just waiting to be found and ignited with a spark

Chorus:
It's not as though I wanted to bottle it to sell
But just to let it flow 'cause it has a tale to tell
The price keeps getting higher to keep my tank at full
And it's more than just my own weight that I have to pull

I've dug down deep despite all my fear
Of what I might find and what might become clear
'Cause all I ever wanted was to live up to that dream
And I refuse to let it get the best of me

Chorus

I guess I had forgotten why headed down this path
I thought I'd never find it, but it was always within my grasp

I've got to pull my dreams back out of my past
Strip them down to the bare bones to find what has made them last
Choose my own way to go and finally give up control
And find something to hold on to and pull
