East of Eden - Mason Jennings

I’m just a student of this life, just like my father

And I am a stranger to this heart, just like my mother

Oh, and brother you should know

That this heart’s still filled with sadness and regret

But I’m learning as I go

To forgive the things that I just can’t forget

Sometimes this heart is made of glass

And I often find myself

Living only in the past

Thinking mostly of myself

But I’ll believe you when you say

That these are things that time can heal

And this beating in my heart

Says this love we have is real

And all of these wishes, I once lost, are now returning

And all of the demons, I have fought, are slowly turning

Oh, and brother you should know

That there is no one in this world who feels no pain

But I’m learning as I go

To accept the things that I’ve no power to change

All of these streets are heading out

And this old song’s no longer blue

And although nothing’s figured out

It looks like we’ve both made it through

If there were one thing I could ask

I would ask you where you’ve been

'Cause I still wonder where you were

When this whole big ship sank in
