Antidote
by Jon Foreman

Album: In Bloom

Verse 1
The ocean is my favorite conversation
She doesn't interrupt or judge my tone
So I talk to her at night when my head's not feeling right
So much better than just staring at my phone

Verse 2
I've only just begun to name the feeling
That comes creeping in my head when I'm alone
Is it fear or my depression keeps me up at night with questions?
Like, "Who am I?" and "Why don't I already know?"

Chorus
Is there an antidote
For the feelings that won't let me go?
Open arms and open roads
Won't you come and take me home?

Verse 3
There's a thread that pulls the night until forever
Dividing where I've been and seeds I've not yet sown
Between the meaning and the fiction, I'll suspend my predilection
With all the secrets that tomorrow only knows

Verse 4
When the wind out in the canyon meets a fire
And the burning in the darkness starts to grow
It don't matter your intentions with all these late-night interventions
When the burning world's the one you used to know

Chorus
Is there an antidote
For the feelings that won't let me go?
Open arms and open roads
Won't you come and take me home?

Outro
Is there a remedy
For all the broken parts of me?
The versions that I'll never be
Won't you come and take me home?
