lyrics

Left town cause I thought I wanted more, got tired of making the same mistakes. Head straight til you don't feel anything. Head south til you feel like someone else. Time heals itself, and I've got other things to keep me up at night.

This what you are, a reason for a long walk home. You'll miss it when it's gone. A glimpse of who you are, a sight of all the things that we learned. This is what I want.

Cold feet made me think I want to leave. I've got my dreams. They're a silhouette, a clouded mess, of things I found along the way. I had my sight on better things, a strong will and a sense of clarity. When does where we're going become where we are? Slow down and park the car. Take a little in. Forget the things you left and quit hoping for the best. Take a load off baby, it's gonna be a long day. I've got some other things to say.

Faith is not a helpful thought. We're living in a world of chances and interactions, simple questions with missing answers and you do better than you thought. At least you've got your honest efforts and simple questions, faint direction and strength to keep it in.

This is what you are, a reason for a long walk home. You'll miss it when it's gone. A glimpse of who you are, a sight of all the things that we learned. This is what I want. You'll miss it when it's gone. We're looking for the same thing, darling I'm the same way. Confused, but some how driven to give away the things that we learned. This is what I want.
