Lyrics
0:07Polished my shoes
0:08I bought a brand new hat
0:11Moved to a town that time forgot
0:17Where I don't have to shave
0:19Or be approachable
0:22No I can do just what I want
0:29I wanna walk in that howling wind
0:33Until it scatters all my thoughts
0:40Sit all alone on the river bank
0:44Until I forget that I can talk
0:50Just listen
0:59They say everyone has a choice to make
1:03To be loved or to be free
1:10I told you once I felt invisible
1:14And I'm sure by now you see
1:21That what I meant is I'm not all there
1:25Until I finally leave
1:31Some loneliness is acceptable
1:36And some is just outright mean
1:41It gets even
1:49The ivy crawls up the garden wall
1:53Builds a ladder towards the sun
2:00It can't be climbed but who's gonna mind
2:04If I claim it can be done
2:10Illusion
2:18And the sun goes down
2:23And the stars come out
2:27In the distance that I felt
2:30I can see it for myself now
2:39Boarded a train to take my memories back
2:44Make up for time that I have lost
2:50I'll never know if I'm delusional
2:54I just believe that I am not
3:01I'm gonna work for my sanity
3:05Give it everything I got
3:12Tough so far I have cheated death
3:16I know someday I'll get caught
3:22Just living
3:31So here we go man it's beautiful
3:35Get your trumpet get your drum
3:42Keeping time in a second line
3:46It can make you feel so young
3:53I know you say you'll go all the way
3:58But that's not quite far enough
4:04Someone told me that same thing
4:09Someone told me that same thing
4:14Someone told me that exact same thing once
Polished my shoes I bought a brand new hat Moved to a town that time forgot Where I don't have to shave Or be approachable No I can do just what I want I wanna walk in that howling wind Until it scatters all my thoughts Sit all alone on the river bank Until I forget that I can talk Just listen They say everyone has a choice to make To be loved or to be free I told you once I felt invisible And I'm sure by now you see That what I meant is I'm not all there Until I finally leave Some loneliness is acceptable And some is just outright mean It gets even The ivy crawls up the garden wall Builds a ladder towards the sun It can't be climbed but who's gonna mind If I claim it can be done Illusion And the sun goes down And the stars come out In the distance that I felt I can see it for myself now Boarded a train to take my memories back Make up for time that I have lost I'll never know if I'm delusional I just believe that I am not I'm gonna work for my sanity Give it everything I got Tough so far I have cheated death I know someday I'll get caught Just living So here we go man it's beautiful Get your trumpet get your drum Keeping time in a second line It can make you feel so young I know you say you'll go all the way But that's not quite far enough Someone told me that same thing Someone told me that same thing Someone told me that exact same thing once
