Oh, lately I've been trying so damn hard to get away Because living in this city makes me weaker every day Being constantly surrounded by people, noise and cars Makes me hunger for a field beneath a big expanse of stars
And I told myself I'd be just fine in the days before you left But reality is sinking in and now I feel bereft Of a reason to think anything will ever be worthwhile So I'm hoping someday soon I'll find my own reason to smile
Cuz sometimes I get so sad I wish my tears would turn to rain And that the storm that I've created comes to wash us all away Leveling the city, 'til there's nothing left but seeds From which will sprout a forest, oh, the perfect place for me
Chorus: And baby, we've got time Oh, you know, we've got the rest of our lives And baby, we've got time If we want to
And I know that it's unhealthy to stay cooped up in my room And I know that you don't mean it when you say that we'll talk soon But that's okay, cuz life is long And until that time I will stay strong
Well but some days are worse than others, and I'll readily admit That despite moments of clarity, I often feel like shit Like right now I feel okay enough to write these stupid lines But goddammit if I don't just get so lonely sometimes
Chorus
