lyrics

We studied the Kill Van Kull
We labeled distance and trajectory
Set our compass by side with the turnpike
Now we packed our bags up to leave
I'm not Lewis or Clark, but I can start a life out west
We may not leave blood in California
but we'll try our best to keep it all inside our heads

Last night I slept like I had something worth waking up for
With our eyes wide, we've all realized that home is where the heart is
No matter what the distance, but I digress

I left postcards in the bathroom of the venue in Tennessee
Waiting for someone to pick me up
And remind me that everything has a meaning
When everything here is all so different, it magnifies the distance
When everything here is heartless, you lose your sense of where your home is

I can't keep my heart from wandering
I can't keep myself intact
