You never listened to what I said or a word I spoke
You were always trying to walk home
I guess I get it I'm not a mimic to the words I preach
But it's much harder than it seems
'Cause I believe in long nights and love songs not goodbyes
And all this time I was trying to get to you
The distance is increasing the speed of my heart beating
And I've taken too many long walks home
This time around let's both do better
Find the pieces put them back together
Because I know that we can go
So much further than this
I'll do my best to bite my tongue
It's a slippery slope we're running on
And I believe that we can make it
If we try
I had my footing then you shook me
I'm losing my ground
You've got me scared now
I'm running
I had my footing then you shook me
I'm losing my ground
You've got me scared now
I'm running
Away.

I've got a mountain to climb
It's so damn high
I've got a nose bleed from the snow
Or the blow that you struck me with
What's your preference
I surely don't know
So come along as I sing my song
And spoil my reputation
I've no excuses no I'm not to blame
My head is just on vacation
I'm in the clouds by the break of dawn
It won't be long
before the snow has turned to rain
And the pain that I'm suffering
Won't mean a thing
When I color in the grey
So come along as I sing my song
And spoil my reputation
I've no excuses no I'm not to blame
My head is just on vacation.

He said I'm getting a real job
We said we'll see you back someday
Maybe next week with
That same stoned looked upon your face
He said I'm missing something
Maybe I'll find it further south
Until then I'll keep driving till the road runs out
My pockets are empty
There's nothing for me here
All my best friends said we bet you wouldn't last a year
I wish I could run away
from all the trouble that money brings
So I can finally find a
What life is really about
Well I wish I could run away
from all the trouble that money brings
So I can finally find out
What life is all about
We're smoking
We're drinking all our lives away
Regard is all but lost
While we're sinking into futons
Are we tripping
Or are we thinking straight
Was this the choice we made
When we had other options
Well I wish I could run away
From all the trouble that money brings
So I can finally find out
What life is really about
I wish I could run away
From all the trouble that money brings
So I can finally find out
What life is all about
Maybe I'd go to the west coast
And see the ocean for the first time
Maybe it's breeze would
Make everything seem fine
Maybe I'd go to the east coast
Down to the New York shoreline
Never looking back
At the life I left behind.

I brought a tape recording of soliloquies
I laid there in the forest on the moss beneath the trees
This is a momento not a symbol but a token
Of the time that I caught fire, swallowed ashes, started choking
And I laid there
Feeling flawless
I am lying
And to be completely honest I'm not doing the best I can
But I'm doing what I can to keep me sane
I force every smile, when I do I look around the room
To see if you are faking yours too
And I laid there
Feeling flawless
I am lying
Oh!
