about

One of my earlier songs

lyrics

Staring out your open window, the warm summer breeze in my face
Blowing smoke to the sky, I lost my mind but found my place
Where did I go for all that time? I had to run against the tide
I found something I meant not to discover
That's the price you pay without a guide

I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on

Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go

Just walk away from all your problems
Try to save yourself
How many times have I tried to get better?
and how many times have I tried to make right?
No matter how many times I just keep slipping under,
it feels the weight of the world's in my arms tonight

I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on

Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go

I've been lying to myself
I've been waiting on a change
When I saw you on the bus the other day
you said you felt that you were locked in a cage, but I'll set you free

I've been gone for so long, and I'm trying to hold on
And I don't know if I'm right or if I'm wrong
But I know that I gotta move along

Cause now it seems like nowhere I go is home
and now the pressure is on and I can't say no
The world's our theater and we're the show
but the green light is flashing, it's time to go
