I thought I was climbing up a mountain

I thought I was untouchable

And all the strongest parts of me were creeks running into a stream

I thought I was brave in the trenches

I showed grace under pressure but I

All the anxious parts of me were drops of water in the sea

But instead, I'm a weary traveler

Instead, I'm a lost romance

Instead, there's a drama going on on the stage tonight

Instead, it's playing out underneath those city lights

I thought I was a bold trailblazer

Lonely troubadour of a different nature

And all the roughest edges of the land dissolve into the sand

I thought I was a clever rebel

Held my heart for ransom running from the devil

On fumes through dreams that'd gone adrift

And rains that flood the desert wind

Instead, I'm lost without you

Instead, uncharted waters, baby

Instead, I'm blacking out in the back of my car tonight

Instead, I'm all caught up in my head again tonight

Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah, oh-oh-oh

But instead, I'm a weary traveler

Instead, I'm a lost romance

Instead, I'm blacking out in the back of my car tonight

Instead, I'm all caught up in my head again tonight

Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh

Instead
