All maps point the same place in the cold, cold light but I still keep my eyes on the road, take my place at the back of the line. Maybe I care too much. Maybe I don't care enough. Maybe it's not that complex I just came at the wrong time.
I painted every wall the same. I hammered every nail. Scrubbed every window clean but you won't give me your name. Another memory filed away on my hard drive.
And it just amazes me how far we'll go to get outside ourselves. Another fantasy, one more clue add it to the proof that you can't be pleased.
So I move and I move and I move....and I move again.
I've been moving all my life. It takes the pain away.
Another summer is calling. I put the gas in my car and if the sun is shining another city is not very far.
And we grow old, old enough to laugh it off.
(and if you wanted to be here yeah I know you could. Don't act like there's something I've misunderstood.)
And we grow old, old enough to laugh it off.
And we grow old.
