I'm growing old from this road that I roam To this place I call home I've been told To stay gold and to shoulder this load as it takes its toll For once in my life I don't feel so alone I'm just on my own and right down to the bone While it's calloused and cold, it's perfectly fine I'm doing my best as I walk this line
Mind ahead of my feet, now I'm running in place All that I had is now falling away Yet there's only so much that will break With each mile I conquer, there's more in its wake All I need is a change, of scenery and pace This world is too big to just think of your face Maybe in time that will change But for now I'll just sit here and wait
I've been stuck in a space, where all that I face Seems rigid and worn and steadfast in its place No matter the reason my mind will race And fill up each corner of empty space Oh this story so far is one of regret And one of remembrance that I won't forget As I spoke more I found I did less to repair what was broken And left of the mess
Mind ahead of my feet, now I'm running in place All that I had is now falling away Yet there's only so much that will break With each mile I conquer, there's more in its wake All I need is a change, of scenery and pace This world is too big to just think of your face So no matter how long it will take I will wait, I will wait
If there's one thing I've learned after all of these months I can write a sad song and be happy for once So through teeth clenching winds and the breath off your lips I hope you can see that I'm better from all of this
You were cigarette smoke in my lungs As bad as you were, I just couldn't get enough Now there's cancer in place of what used to be love So my heart is as dead as the ocean is rough
