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)
