lyrics

I lock my door against the wind
terrified it will burst in
and rip up all my roots again
just like the time before

for if I meet such wild gales
I know I'll yearn to ride the rails
or fly away and hoist my sails
and set back out to sea

see? I'll follow blindly
leaving landscapes framed behind me
'so long' I'll say benignly,
I'm headed out the door

out to new horizons
different loves and different lies
and it comes and no surprise
I've come back for more

come back for more

more of what I'm lacking
I'm continuously packing
prepped my own hi-jacking
like the cancer never came

but now my heart is weakened
by a burden it can't speak and
my eyes are like two beacons,
they give it all away

see? I'll follow blindly
leaving landscapes framed behind me
'so long' I'll say benignly,
I'm headed out the door

out to new horizons
different loves and different lives
and it comes and no surprise
I've come back for more

come back for more

when that wind begins to howl
I'm trembling like a tree bough
should I stay or should I go now?
do I even have a choice?

when that wind begins to howl
I'm trembling like a tree bough
should I stay or should I go now?
do I even have a choice?
do I even have a choice?

lock my door against the wind
terrified it will burst in
and rip up all my roots again
just like the time before
