Blank Page - Matt Hammitt

I’m a stranger in my hometown

In the neighborhood that made what I am now

Doesn’t look like any place I know

I keep wondering where did all the time go

It’s a wonder that I’m standing here

With all the battle scars that I’ve won through the years

It’s a wonder that I still believe

I still believe

The highs, the lows

The light that causes all my shadows

The pain you feel because you loved so

This life and all it’s crescendos

Standing in the memories

Before I knew who I would be

I remember life before I knew the pain

When life was a blank page

I was gunning for the open road

Thought my future would be perfectly paved in gold

Little did I know that I would be

Begging to relive my history

You never know it when you’re in the frame

Picture perfect doesn’t feel like anything

'Til your memories taste so sweet

Those memories

The highs, the lows

The light that causes all my shadows

The pain you feel because you loved so

This life and all it’s crescendos

Standing in the memories

Before I knew who I would be

I remember life before I knew the pain

When life was a blank page

Staring at a dirt road

Wish I knew what I know

That every dream was better

Better unknown

Standing in the memories

Before I knew who I would be

I remember life before I knew the pain

When life was a blank page

Life was a blank page

It was never mine anyway

Oh, I can’t control a thing

'Cause it was never my blank page
