Traveler

Lost to these linens

My tasteless affections

Are buried in the past

Feelings so fleeting

Yet never completing

The thoughts I quelled to last

It saw too

I saw to it, Anna

I saw too

I saw to it, Anna

I caught a line, I caught a line

Clinging to my own devices

Craving sleep when the evening comes

Strip me down to a heart and lungs

I always sang about ya

Terrified of how waking life walks

Frightened frame with a shirt that talks

I tripped over the moon about ya

Steadfast in nature

The scenes on my pages

Were all mirages now

Everything's vexing

I'm more unconvincing

Than both my parents now

Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you

Oh, oh, oh, you said that you wanted me too

Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you

Oh, oh, oh, 21 years for you

21 years for you

I woke with a headache

My bones and my body

Screamed: Son, where the hell is your head?

I reached for some water

To quench the fire

That's burning up in my bed

Haze like a fever

I fell like a dreamer

For sweet tea and lemonade

It clings to my T-shirt

It's loud and it lingers

Designed to suffocate

I light up to find

What I've known all this time

There's some beauty here yet

The folks in town

Have the kindest eyes

But you'll drown in the ways you set

I'll flee like that fever

Lost to that dreamer

All pale-faced for leaving be

Our time is a-coming

But my heart is humming

For a girl that I can't see

(Lost to these feelings)

(On the horizon)

(The future's uncertain)

(My heart is hurting)

(For a girl that I can't see)

(For a girl that I can't see)

(For a girl that I can't see)

(For a girl that I can't see)

(For a girl that I can't see)

(For a girl that I can't see)
