The Borders We Traded

The lumber mill trains escape this small and dusty town

Where the tracks seem to chase the skies forever

But this is not where I belong

Who'd know the stranger I'd become if this were home

I'm the island you left and run away from

And the thousands of miles you chose to stay

Beyond the borders we traded

The borders I traded for you

There are ghosts in the wind that blow across these empty fields

Where the last missing crew flew off forever

Seems what courses through our veins

Barely shape who we became if this were true

I'm the island you left and ran away from

And the thousands of miles you chose to stay

Beyond the borders we traded

The borders I traded with you

Beyond the borders we traded

The borders I traded with you

Time blurs these imaginary lines

The borders that faded disappeared
