lyrics

The family sees places as a way
To stay one day my leaving would be something
Where my memories of places start to fade
So plain, everyone's life is unchanging

Life's been nothing but fair
Why should I care about moving back there
And I know that I always can
Wherever I am
And I know they'll always understand

The trouble stands with folks
Who bury their heads in sands
In land that always left them stranded
But when there's open minds
When people understand your side
Everyone's prayers are less demanding

The lights here fade away
But tomorrow is another day

Life's been nothing but fair
Why should I care about moving back there
And I know that I always can
Wherever I am
And I know they'll always understand
x 2

Like an ocean wave, this town will wash away
Leaving my pain
And when I think it's passed, it always seems to last
All of my pain
