Come Into Your Own
Music and lyrics written by Sam Gleaves, 2012.

I give up on sleeping and I turn the light on
Turn an envelope over and I write ‘til you’re gone
The porchlight’s still burning because you never came
Who was I expecting, looks like nothing has changed.
Chorus: But I’ve been to that crossroads and I’ve cleaned off that shelf
It’s just something you have to admit to yourself
Don’t count on me darlin’, ‘cause I’ll be up and gone
And I’m waiting on you to come into your own.
Everything’s showing, but nothing gets said
Good love gets wasted and we both go unfed
I take your love when it finds me and the evening is fine
And then the morning reminds me I was wasting my time.
Chorus: But I’ve been to that crossroads and I’ve cleaned off that shelf
It’s just something you have to admit to yourself
Don’t count on me darlin’, ‘cause I’ll be up and gone
And I’m waiting on you to come into your own.
All things to their season, and I won’t mourn you long.
But I’m counting on you to come into your own.
