Leaves are falling off the trees
Which means its time for me to go
Staying in one place is something
I don’t know how to do
I woke up in savannah with the sunrise
With my girl for the night
I said darling I don’t know your name
But it’s good to be by your side
Thank you for making me less lonely
I hope you slept all right
And if it’s all right ill go home now
We can go our own separate ways

I woke up to a phone call
It was my mother telling Me I should be home
I had three dollars in my pocket
And no idea where home was to me at all

It seems that everyone’s looking
For a place to settle down and call their own
But I’m too afraid of all the people
And the things that I would never get to see

And everything is like
It was when I was a child
Trying to find
A way to feel at home
But everything
Is temporary
And what you love
Is never there
It only stays around
For a little while

So I get in my car
And change my name
Try to tell everyone
To be proud of me
I’m traveling on
And I’m never coming back
I want to wake up
Every morning
Because its my choice
And not a chore
See, everyone is bound
By who they’ve become

far away from the highway 

far away from the city

there’s a man in a room 

waiting patiently

for something to happen

something to save him

could it be me?

could i give salvation? 

nothing is sacred

you lied to yourself

said “i’m not fucking worth this”

nor is no one else

you fell asleep

watching tv

and i called

and i called

but you couldn’t hear me
 

so i’m

shutting my eyes

i’ll see you in a dream

i’ll see you in hell

if i see you at all

we sat on the floor
with our backs against the wall
you told me it’s better to understand
than being understood

and you borrowed my lighter
we talked until the morning
when you fell asleep on my shoulder 
with your hand upon my knee

i told you what i’m afraid of
cause i knew you weren’t listening
i don’t know where i am going
i don’t know where i should be

is this where i’m supposed to be
is this where i’m supposed to be
is this where i’m supposed to be

So I’m up on the ledge, waiting for you

To notice, and rise up, and save me

Just so I can jump through the air, and land on my feet

Don’t you know, I’d never desert you
