You Go a Long Way (Undone)

by Riley Skinner

/

about

I released this song on my album, Surrender, with a full band sound, but I equally love to play it acoustically. I hope you'll enjoy this softer version, I wanted to share both sides of things. This is the first song I wrote after moving to Minnesota, and it's a love letter to this place and the people I've met here who have made me feel at home. I loved working on this with two of my friends -- Andy Ulseth and Nick Baker.

lyrics

snow drifted through in the night
and I feel like myself for the first time in a long time
I thought I'd be someone else by now
but I can't control the way time passes unexpectedly

the pressure's just been building to this moment –
I know we all feel it...
it makes me wonder is there's something new,
some little light pushing through,
I wonder is there’s something new,
some little light pushing through me

and even in my darkest moments, I hope you know --
there is a spark here
I feel the tapestry of your love wrapped around me

and you go a long way in making my whole day
you go a long way in making my whole day

I may not ever be in the right place at the right time
but I have something worth holding on to

and you go a long way
you go a long way
you go a long way
in making my whole day
