Lyrics

My feet have not touched solid ground
Since I moved away
Didn't mean to paint my hometown
Shipwreck shades of gray
I stopped picking up the phone 'cause there's
Nothing left to say
Come back for people who
I forgot how to talk to
Kept awake by darker selves I don't let my friends see
Clothespin dreams on fire for a city that can't sleep
Hold on like a buoy to the last days of my teens
And regret how I left because
I'm pulled in two directions but
Strange angels
Come into my room at night and
Change the tracks of the train
To other kinder lines
Same as last year
I need saving from these eyes
Please take my escape plan away
Something 'bout your memory shimmers
Like a desert heat
Blue mirage wrapped up in gauze
Of hazy family trees
The paint is peeling from my feelings
About you and me
It's not your fault you're rusted over
It's just hard to trust in closure
Do you hear me in the distance
Searching for my breath
Did you feel the line go loose when I
Loved my new address
My shoes don't fit my footprints
When I retrace my steps
If I came back, would you let me in
If I said sorry, could we begin again
Would you be my angel
Come into my room at night and
Change the tracks of the train
To other kinder lines
Name my reborn soul
Hold me heavy while I cry
Please take my escape plan away
There's a stranger in the mirror
He gets further from me every day
I'm not who I used to be
Will you take me anyway?
