there’s nothing but blue skies
in my lifetime indoors
the ghosts from my timeline
are coming out in force
sometimes i think my lungs might overflow
& i’m laying tracks where no trains go

everyone cares
everyone understands
they thank you for flying
but they don’t think you can land
before too long they’re gonna lay you low
while you’re laying tracks where no trains go

i ran to you honey
only to find
i couldn’t stop running
so i left you behind
now i’m stuck in a place
i’ll never really leave
with a heavy heart i’ll never really
get off my sleeve

i’m stuck in this place
& i’m counting the days
with a screaming head
that i can’t throw away
i’ve come this far
& this is all i have to show
but i’m laying tracks where no trains go

i’ve come this far
& this is all i have to show
but i hope they’ll bring me back
by this time tomorrow
