My feet have only wandered
The edges of the east coast
My eyes have longed for city lights
That teach you not to feel alone
I keep searching for adventure
But the suburbs keep me blind
Don’t get me wrong; I love my mama’s voice
But I need to follow mine
CHORUS
Chances seeping through these cracked walls
With tomorrow waiting to break my fall
But I’ve found myself in this familiar home
When the measure of our years take hold
It’s easy to get lost
When you’re used to standing still
But when life relies on paychecks
Seeing more ain’t at my will
I read in yesterday’s paper
California got some sun
I bet there’s lessons in west coast waves
That make an old soul feel so young
CHORUS
Passport stamps and stacks of tickets
Mark the maps of where I go
But when you live through retold stories
You only learn what you already know
And I’ve heard of silky sunsets in springtime
That ease away the past
They say that man needs a shelter
But not when shelter holds you back
CHORUS
