lyrics

i drove 20,000 miles just to find my way back home
and the only thing i’ve learned is to admit what i don’t know
and for every single place i’ve been there’s still a million left to go

so let me go to the places that i’ve never been before
just let me go, i don’t know who i am or what i’m fighting for
let me go, when i’ve got no place to rest my head
i’ll remember what the ghost said

i spent money i don’t have
on shit that i don’t need
to prove to people i don’t like
that i’m who they think i should be
there must be something more to life
at least there must be more to me

so let me go to the places that i’ve never been before
just let me go, i don’t know who i am or what i’m fighting for
let me go, when i’ve got no place to rest my head
i’ll remember what the ghost said
i’ll remember what she said
she said nothing will ever be as bad as it seems when your skies turn grey
nothing will ever be as good as it seems on your best day

all these rituals and habits
these daily routines
just the flesh in this ordinary eternal machine
we are dust, we are stars
and we are everything in between

so let me go to the places that i’ve never been before
just let me go, i don’t know who i am or what i’m fighting for
let me go, when i’ve got no place to rest my head
i’ll remember what the ghost said
i’ll remember what she said
she said nothing will ever be as bad as it seems when your skies turn grey
nothing will ever be as good as it seems on your best day
