lyrics

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
