I took off

My brain was running

Left six strings on the train home strumming

Was only scared that I'd lose something else

Thinking of my friends, my home

The one I love

The ones I'll show that I'll be

Better than before

Promise I'll be better than before

Dotted lines and freeway signs

Swore it never crossed my mind

Till there I was, tripping right out the door

And I don't need

Anything in front of me

I left it all back there on the floor

Forgot the only thing that'll help me win this war

Called Aubrey on the phone

Said she'd trade London out for home

Know that we'll both stick it out

'Cause isn't that what life's about

Empty roads to Roanoke

My dad told me it was time to go

"You gotta do it while you still can"

And I don't need

Anything in front of me

I left it all back there on the floor

Forgot the only thing that'll help me win this war

I took off

My brain was running

Left six strings on the train home strumming

Was only scared I'd lose something else
