The Oh Hellos - The Truth Is a Cave Lyrics

I was young
I was young and naive
As I was told
As I was told, so I believed
And I was told there's only one road that leads you home

And the truth was a cave on the mountainside
And I'd seek it out until the day I died

I was bound
I was bound and determined
To be the child
To be the child that you wanted
But I was blind to every sign you left for me to find

And the truth became a tool that I held in my hand
And I wielded it, but I didn't understand

(Uh uh uh)
(Ah ah ah)

I was tired of giving more than you gave to me
And I desired a truth I wouldn't have to seek

But in the silence I heard you calling out to me
