lyrics

I had so many things to tell you
That I had nothing left to say
With my shadow digging holes behind me
I just smiled and walked away

I don’t know where it is I’m running to
Or what it is I lost along the way
But if you knew what I was trying to forget
Why did you not give me a reason to stay

Like everything I thought I needed
I took a little more than I should
In a world full of blind optimism
I found nothing that I thought I would

I left you and headed east bound
And I dug all my troubles from the ground
Then I tore the rope I should’ve been mending
But that’s only a story for you to tell

If you knew where the wind was bound to take me
Or you knew how the story would end
How could you not of seen the road I had to straighten out
Or how that highway was a bit to thin

Like everything I thought I needed
I took a little more than I should
In a world full of blind optimism
I found nothing that I thought I would

I disappeared into the coast line
Slept for days out along the shore
Listened to the wind play the ocean
But those notes could not strike a chord

You’ll find me out on the hillside
With that guitar and song in hand
With that highway far behind me
Where only the wounded would understand

Like everything I thought I needed
I took a little more than I should
In a world full of blind optimism
I found nothing that I thought I would
