Miles To Go

(album: Hell Is In Your Head - 2022)

I'm gonna dig a hole to Los Angeles from New York
And we'll escape this East Coast winter for the warmth
And those were nice ideas in our roaring twenties
But now I'm pushing daisies, suffocated by my thirties
It's only getting worse and we're all getting older
Getting older

The ice caps are melting and
The bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's racing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

I always said I'd rather be poor than unhappy and that's still true
But everywhere I look's a reminder of the things I can't afford to do
Gotta make enough money so that I can retire
Gotta drink enough water so that I can perspire
Somedays I can barely fucking brush my teeth
I haven't changed my clothes in a week

'Cause the ice caps are melting and
The bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's racing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

The world is on fire and the president's a liar
There's plastic in the Pacific that will never expire
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?
When I can barely get out of bed
There's already so much hell in my head
I'm already filled with such doom

The Earth is on fire
It all feels so hopeless
But all I can do
Is love you with all my soul

But the ice caps are melting and
The bees are disappearing
The polar bears are dying
Sometimes I wonder why we're even trying
It's racing through my mind
We're running out of time
I just want to fall in love more

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I've got promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
