Western Terminal

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

Move back home
If there's one thing that I know
It's that this life can get fucked
When you count on fate and good luck
To get you through it

Whiskey spills
Get soaked in medical bills
A brand new start or dead end?
I guess that'll mostly depend
On your reaction

So when I see you now
Will you wrap your arms around me?
Say I've changed and held your breath
And nothing's been right since I left
Or did you forget my name?
And we'll just stand around in silence
'Til you sigh and walk away
And say I'm done with your bullshit

Leave this nowhere town
I fall asleep and dream of the freeway
Roll my window down
I exhale the dust, and I breathe the new day
You turn to me and shout
"We're on our way and it's never too late"
Go miles beyond all doubt
And then we laugh it up 'cause we know we'll make it out

Cardboard throne
And everything that I own
Fits in the back of my car
Some old photographs, my guitar
A kind of freedom

Brakes all shot
And yeah it's rusted in spots
It's seen some miles but I bet
It's still got some life in it yet
I'll keep the tank full

So when I see you now
Will you wrap your arms around me?
Say I've changed and held your breath
And nothing's been right since I left
Or did you forget my name?
And we'll just stand around in silence
'Til you sigh and walk away
And say I'm done with your bullshit

Leave this nowhere town
I fall asleep and dream of the freeway
Roll my window down
I exhale the dust, and I breathe the new day
You turn to me and shout
"We're on our way and it's never too late"
Go miles beyond all doubt
But then I cough awake, know I almost made it out

And I can see in morning sun
I don't know what I'm running from
But I know there's rabbit in my blood
Was a couple drops and it turned to flood

Wander off of this well worn track
Shake the world and send postcards back
Light a fire, you know where I'm at?
I'm just standing. I'm just standing

Wander off of this well worn track
Shake the world and send postcards back
Light a fire, you know where I'm at?
I'm just standing. I'm just standing still
I'm just standing still
