They say in this town You can see all the stars at night But the brigher lights of the city held my eye This place was never a home Just a space to rest my head On dirty floors of basements I found the reason I'm still alive Once in every five blue moons a night Most nights I search for something more than this But all I ever find is disbelief The person I've become is not what you may expect Just a person trying to find A reason to go on And I can honestly say I've had better days.

Sidewalks 02:46
It's a new day in this half life I lead It's a new start and a fresh fire under me Taking steps towards higher peaks Reaching highs I never thought I'd see No obstacles in front of me The road ahead is all I see I once asked the kid in me Where do you want to be When the sidewalk ends? I've been told once that this fantasy Was never worth the time it would take me To get this in gear in moving on The time is now to prove them wrong Stop sitting around watching life pass you The time has come to say your goodbyes To who held you down and kept you from Leading your life, we say let them come

Everything that I once loved has turned to dust around my feet So I'll just drag them in the sand The waves crashed on the night that you left town I watched these once calm waters break Like your change of scenery Get washed ashore with everything you couldn't change Like the way you used to say that I was wrong You just turn your back away You leave yourself open to being broken Find acceptance in what the stars and the sea Have in store for you and me When you feel the way the waves break Sinking into the current of something bigger than yourself You'll know just how it feels when this changes But I don't think you'll feel yourself drown

The only thing in life I thought I would regret Was letting go of better things that made my days less cold And every year the summers make me miss the fall My worn down shoes still walk these streets that Made me feel so small It's second thoughts that seem to keep me up at night Failures still the reason that I fall from such great heights A wiser voice once said Keep your heart close to home I'm a thousand miles away and I can feel it growing cold In my mind I'm getting old In my heart I know I'm sold I write these songs to show just what I think About the things I love and the secrets that I keep The skyline and the sea both come crashing down on me My dreams may be too big for me but I'll just wait and see It's second thoughts that seem to drown me in my mind Success is still the reason I have hope in all the lies And I once heard you say Don't forget about your home Still a thousand miles away, at least the highway feels like home Some days I feel so young Others I feel like my time is up
