lyrics

Somebody once told me
You should try to go and see
What it feels like to be truly alone
When you drive all night
Through blurry red lights
And wake up in your seat
Next to a friend out, still half stoned
Papa said "please guard your bed
And earn the living you surely can
I know you’ll make me proud"
Now off you go, your friend said to row
We named our boats after our souls
And they were “move” and “love”
Remember the waters you came from

I’ll write a book one stormy day
In 40 years when you’ve moved away
And I’ve got nothing but my notes
One chapter will tell of funny times
With beer and diner trips past nine
And another will be this song I wrote
For all the years of sailing I stayed afloat

You showed me I’m on my own
Out the door and running for the road
It's something that I’ve never known

Honey I’ve grown roots in my arms
At the thought of seeing you so far
I can’t be affording all these trips
Funny how once you learn to hurt
It wipes the appeal away like dirt
And leaves you thinking the “what if's”
If California grips your wrist
Then book the page that chaps your lips
And I won’t say a single word
Just because my hope was off
Will never make my promise soft
So watch while my bed begins to curl
Up into a desert where you wouldn’t grow

You showed me I’m on my own
Out the door and running for the road
It's something that I’ve never known
Showing me that I’m on my own
Out the door and running for the road
It's something that I’ve never known

Tonight I’ll drink to all the friends
That held their tongues up till the end
Because I sure as hell didn’t make it
Today you’ll sing back to me
While watching all of winter come clean
And I’ll be in silence, you'll see
