lyrics

Sometimes the world just isn't big enough
I want to squeeze myself out of this womb
If hope is a cut, I am the razor blade
If love is a dirt pile, I am the broom

Follow my own rules, listen to no fool
float like a leaf in the breeze
It doesn't matter where I lay my head
as long as I can breathe

Putting my quarters into the Wurlitzer
tossing a bottle into the sea
Throwing my voice out into the universe
Hoping someone's got a message for me
The river of life dried up and left me here
with no one to love and nowhere to go
I pick up a pencil, put it back down again
Only the silence knows what I know

Follow my own rules, listen to no fool
float like a leaf in the breeze
It doesn't matter where I lay my head
as long as I can breathe

All of these years, the lure of the moon at night
The epic adventure, the freedom to roam
But here by the fire, here where it's safe and warm
My big disappointment: there's no place like home
