LYRICS
Abandoned and lamenting
The wasted days were spent running from ourselves
Aimlessly ramblin’ but hey man, at least we’ve got our health
Oh, but it ain’t enough just to be alive
We’ve gotta lean into the love a little
before we die.
So, tell me what you need
You bring me to my knees
And I’m tired of running
I’m tired of moving life around
How do we deal with this?
Treat each day as the gift it is
I don’t wanna be running
Until I’m underground
Let’s just forget the unforgiving presence of death
And live wild and free
Godless or not -
You can’t let the fear control your body
Like a great Canadian darkness
I will cover you
Nothing will harm us
I will protect you
So tell me what you need
You bring me to my knees
And I’m tired of running
Tired of moving life around
How do we deal with this?
Treat each day as the gift it is
I don’t wanna keep running
Until I’m underground

[@coreysexy]

Amazing

[@theplaiddad6596]

I swear his voice and music get better with age. Incredible musician

[@ahetzel9054]

He's like a fine wine lol

[@dcroqstar1]

Literally yes

[@finalbreath15]

He's really something else. Butter smooth. And what a beard. What a beard.

[@erinhawkins142]

Oh they definitely have!! Listening to his older stuff and the music today is inspiring! He’s grown up with his music! I always get excited when he drops something new! ❤

[@edwardwood6127]

like tennessey whiskey

[@markt2203]

No better sound than Dallas and acoustic guitar. Unbelievably good

[@chucktysowski2455]

He doesn’t sing this song. He IS The song

[@MadnessMethod1]

Easily one of the greatest musicians of our generation. Dallas just can't miss!

[@goldieg6934]

Love his voice ❤❤❤

[@jimharries2070]

Thank you Dallas. Watching VH2 at 0300am in 2005 when ‘Save your scissors’ came on. Mesmerised then, mesmerised now. Looking forward to the gold vinyl arriving.

[@dylanwallace763]

What he said ^

[@ShaneAOF]

Mine was Pulmonary Archery on Much music in like 2003 on the couch after school

[@crookstaa]

Third this.

[@paulhendrickson4768]

Sweet Jesus ❤what a song

[@abegetsbuckwild]

“Treat each day as the gift it is” Chorus hits.

[@thetaco1139]

I think it's his best song to date. I've had it on repeat like 100 times.

[@MattrickBT]

Come on Dallas! Give us another album that is just you and an acoustic guitar! This is just so goddamn pure and fantastic.

[@octaviof.g.7316]

that voice is pure $$$

[@DanielGibbsMusic]

Hallelujah 👏👏👏

[@brinkybrinkz]

Love this version ❤

[@AtlasZero13]

Light mist , slow driving while street lights pass through my field of vision , i breathe in and out again with these songs on repeat , I'm home

[@everybodycallsmesir]

Mmm I'm just over here so vibing right now.

[@enilnimaishnoodlenoftz763]

Hey, there it is. I hope Dallas puts out acoustic versions of all his albums following Bring Me Your Love one day. It seems part of his heart will always lie in solo performances like this. I think it's part of why everyone likes Guide Me Back Home so much

[@todlowe4567]

So, so, so good!

[@DoctorFurter]

One of my top goals for 2023 is to see you play live again

[@Drumguybri]

What a voice!

[@em2strange]

Nothing better then Dallas and his guitar. It’s always so raw & so beautiful. Nothing is better then when you can feel the soul and emotion when listening to music and Dallas delivers that every time.

[@vacantcubicle7]

Love that you've been playing that Martin lately, beautiful instrument. Also, I hope you filmed one of these for every song on the album.

[@lovelorn4154]

This Martin and his Gibson 355, my god I love those instruments.

[@connorm1817]

Yess. 00-17. It's a gorgeous guitar with a lovely sound. His Martin custom shop (that he's played in a lot of live videos) is also a powerhouse

[@4to6months]

God I hope he has!!!!!

[@TommyTadeo]

Do you know if it is the Martin 00-17?

[@livinginlightning]

I’ve had the melodies from this song stuck in my head from the moment I first listened to it. Literally plays over and over, day and night. His music is my drug.

[@oers66]

How can someone be live even better? Especially the acoustic versions are perfect for me. Please keep it up Dallas Sincerely, a fan since 2009

[@mellie0402]

My friend from high school passed away the other night in her sleep😢😢. I dedicate this song to you Heather Johnston R.I.P. you beautiful soul xoxo😭😭😭

[@treverphilpott7618]

Saweeeet new tune from C&C... Love IT!

[@carolynejorge6219]

What a man

[@taytendo]

This man can do no wrong! I had the pleasure of being able to attend his show in Sydney last week (literally the best night I have had in yonks!, I sang my little heart out). Dallas made a comment about how it was clear when people cheer about an old song coming out, that they arent a fan of the newer stuff (this was obviously a joke.. ahaha) but I just wanted to say I am an absolute lover of City & Colours old stuff, but at the moment, Meant to be and Underground are two of my favourite songs! We are all so grateful you continue to put out music, it is ALWAYS amazing

[@amygld3390]

It was such a great show! And 100% agree, this new music is next level!! 😍

[@brahewalkermusic]

Was there! Best night of my life and keen for AOF on the 20th! ✌️😁

[@adamteeee]

Absolutely incredible 😍 Still one of the nest voices out there 👏🏻

[@margiesvanmori]

LOVE🌞🌻🌞🌻 your songs give m chills. Mmmmmm mmmmmmm🧚🏼‍♂️

[@richbikelife]

He's a true artist and musician. It's mind boggling to me how this doesn't have millions of views already and how this song isn't on the radio...such a good song brother. Dallas is one of a kind.

[@filipepacheco8140]

I'm just passioned by Dallas compositions. It's just so angelical. I cannot describe the feeling that reach me everytime that i listen to City and Colour. Waiting anxiously for your coming to Brazil

[@BuckleZ]

Big love Dallas ❤

[@jimelrod1720]

each day is a gift. so is this song.

[@viniwittke]

Me and my wife had tickets bought for Porto Alegre, Brazil. Unfortunately the pandemic came, that show was cancelled and we were left with the dream of seing dallas live. Dallas, are you ever coming back here? Oh, and the video was awesome, as always!

[@ckjr444]

RIGHT ON!

[@WojtekCieslicki]

Out. Of. This. World.

[@lisiB13]

What an amazing voice Dallas has! Every time I listen to this song it gets better!

[@jorgerobertojunior6349]

Incrível como sempre !!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@theyclimb9214]

Finally being in a place to be vulnerable and being willing to go all in for someone, especially as a control freak with big walls up- courageous.

[@mathiassadler4740]

God Dallas I've been listening to you since before city and colour when you were only in Alexisonfire you're an amazing musician

[@thesearmsaresnacks8899]

[@danilopereira990]

Obrigado cara, sua arte é incrível.

[@daraska9052]

Atta boy Dal!!! Love this acoustic....

[@14eight]

Ive seen him twice now, starting back about 10 years ago, and getting to see him again this year is no less exciting . so incredible

[@ArchitectGG]

Thanks for putting out acoustic performances for those a little more accustomed to the older C&C. Feels like Dallas has never forgotten about us.

[@eber66]

Superb version of a great song! Merci!

[@colto91]

I love this song

[@BrunoDeRos]

Its not only a good music. Its truly art and talent. Its amazing

[@laiuzzz]

[@bon7867]

[@366atticus]

Man you have helped me through some pretty rough times over the years. We love you Dallas. Don't ever stop making music.

[@KurtCocaineYO]

"Like a great Canadian darkness I will cover you" BRO WTF THIS IS JUST TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BELIEVE DAMN

[@tattoopractice]

"Nothing will harm us, I will protect you..." - this harmony, just so beautiful.

[@msrunner62]

Dallas, I cannot wait to see you and the band on May 21st in Ithaca, NY to see and hear you live is a bucket list item for me!!! You are the best!

[@dang9269]

Love the positivity in this song so beautiful

[@pamella9978]

Love this so much.❤❤❤❤

[@brendahoss6277]

Loveeee ❤❤❤ this song

[@akaanavoig4986]

His voice takes me to places I've never been fr

[@codymanzo4931]

He is the best musician in my eyes. Honest opinion. ❤️

[@RoysVideos]

Truly gets better every time I listen to this song. ❤️

[@yasminepamplona7386]

Ele e o violão ❤️

[@hishouha]

It really struck a cord with me (pun not intended) “We should lean into the love before we die” I’ve been a bit obsessed with the idea of death since my mother passed away 2 years ago. I’m 21 and still fighting for my path through life’s hardships and pains. Pain inside me and pain from what/who I love. I work with cancer patients almost everyday, people scared of dying and I keep being reminded how fickle life is. It’s so fragile but so beautiful all the same and we are all paralyzed to see it. I think it’s a beautiful song.

[@gregorysummers6413]

Jesus is always with you❤

[@Zexporta998]

my fav song rn!!! thank you

[@Glenzo78]

Can’t wait for my preorder vinyl to come in 😌

[@thepigeonsupremacy4704]

- DALLAS YOU ARE FUCK*N' INCREDIBLE - I' ll be here listening to your heavenly voice and magical strumming when you' ll be 197 years old.

[@franw51]

Dallas.... thank you for you. Love all of us buddy

[@thejpinky]

I'm so happy to see new music. Can't wait for a tour!!

[@edend65]

Incredible artist - his music is aging like fine wine.

[@porules420]

Legendary man! Great job on the album. I heard this song and it inspired me to pick my guitar up after 27 years.

[@arieljautry8201]

So beautiful! So looking forward to this album after a loss

[@erickuribe2843]

Always seems to hit the spot! Impossible to get tired of this sound!

[@AquelasCoisasShop]

This is beautiful, thanks

[@forrestsamuel]

This is a masterpiece

[@erikbacousticrock7561]

You are officially my favorite acoustic singer/songwriter...

[@steelhead197]

[@amongthecrowd]

Where is the KZbin repeat functionality? Thank you for this song!

[@marknz2]

Such a tune. I really enjoy how you have kept your artistic integrity and style across the albums. Powerful lyrics and soulful chords. Keep up the beautiful music good sir.

[@geoffflynn7555]

Gets better every year.

[@shawnbenton6171]

Unbelievable how good this performance is.

[@CozBoogie]

Too many emotions to put into words....but this song is either an uplifting anthem of grace and love, or a tribute to loss and need.

[@beesrosh]

He sounds better than ever!!!

[@hayhoo02]

Absolutely love this beautiful piece of art…thank you for allowing us to enjoy your work and sharing your state of mind and storytelling. I’ve loved your music for so long and so many pieces resonates to my core. Thank you
