lyrics

I left town to do bigger things,
I couldn't breath in this city.
You were smoking, and you were sleeping,
And if you weren't gone, you were leaving.

You weren't focused on the future,
You just wanted some more weed.
You slept away your mornings,
I don't see how you can't see.

And I can't see through my own eyes,
But you know that there's got to be a better life,
So don't go.

We've got time, we've got the whole world at our feet to explore.
We've got space, we've got angels at our day.
We've got love, but we don't want the world to see. Or do we?
Yeah, we've got faith, but it doesn't mean we don't know anything.

I don't know where I'm going but I know it's far from here.
I'll stay far away, but you can bet that I won't disappear.
My mind is swollen with these things that carry me a little too far gone.
I won't wade through all these empty dreams alone.

And I can't see through my own eyes,
But you know that there's got to be a better life,
So don't go.

We've got time, we've got the whole world at our feet to explore.
We've got space, we've got angels at our day.
We've got love, but we don't want the world to see. Or do we?
Yeah, we've got faith, but it doesn't mean we don't know anything.
