Lyrics

Brace myself for another year alone
An unfamiliar building on a street of broken homes
North winds chill, too cold to sail, I cough it out my lungs
If I'm not back by summer tell them I just had enough
As I let my half lit cigarette fall down into the street
I stomp it out and I think of how the metaphor it speaks
To all these incandescent lights and distant city sounds
You'd think that I'd have found a better way by now
I'm not running away
We've all been chasing the summer
We all try to hide from the rain
Black clouds might break tomorrow
All these colors that I
Just can't help that I'm missing
Something that's bigger than I
Just can't find in my hometown
If I choose to fade away
I feel it pulling every day
What the fuck have I been doing
I let my pride get in the way
But I did it to myself
And now my bones are wearing weak
Think about the day when I reminisce
About the friends I had back east
And one day when I stand tall
With the ocean at my feet
For the surface, it was worth it
All this time spent underneath
I'm not running away
We've all been chasing the summer
We all try to hide from the rain
Black clouds might break tomorrow
All these colors that I
Just can't help that I'm missing
Something that's bigger than I
Just can't find in my hometown
Toxic eyes on you, the stage is set
Put your face on, this is sick success
Make believe, this wasn't all you ever hoped for
Make your escape and never waste another day
So stop running away
We've all been chasing the summer
We all try to hide from the rain
Black clouds might break tomorrow
All these colors that I
Just can't help that I'm missing
Something that's bigger than I
Just can't find in my hometown
So fall down
