shaving your life

early come one winters morning

i packed my bags and said goodbye

i knew my mind was made up

and then she cried

and asked me why i had to run

i heard the world calling my name

had to find a better place

had to take a chance and get away

wake up to a different point of view

look to my better half but i don't see you

five thousand miles away

i left a life of ignorance

i did not understand

but life to me makes more sense

our lives go on

while we procrastinate

feeling okay

watching as the blue skies turn to gray

got nothing to say

later on a new spring morning

i felt my strength come back around

i knew i'd come full circle

left with the wisdom i had found

i had to run

i heard my home calling my name

back to a better place

back to somewhere i knew i could stay

our lives go on

while we procrastinate

watch days go by

funny how it all turns out when you start to try

i don't know where to go

i see that place in front of you

the things i thought were not true

and now the fires burning you

you got nothing
