It is miles upon miles for a traveling man bittersweet smiles reminders that you understand But shaking nerves still come unwound in messages stories of coming back around These barren, hungry tires grip the earth as where we are becomes where we were When destination slams into location night after night you know the taste of dirt It is miles upon miles for a calling closer to home with every word I sing Anxiety and relief still contend in messages stories of coming home to a best friend Leaving feels a lot like falling like a million motors running in my stomach It kills me to say all these late night phone calls are the most I can offer when the train pulls up Leaving feels a lot like falling like cyanide and cyclones leaving feels a lot like falling but I'm always on my way home
