Home Away From Here

I’m coming to terms that I’m not concerned

With planting my feet but moving onward

I’m growing older but I can't get over

The need of colder skin when I know that home is warmer

It's just that I have this problem

Where I want to be everywhere I’m not

But I’m thankful for what I’ve got

A room in a house where my bed may stay

But the feel of another’s sheets help keep my demons away

It’s become clear that what keeps me here

Is that sense of failure and other nightmares

I’ve become jaded and I can’t escape it

The thought of settling when I know it's what I hated

It's just I have this problem

Where I want to be everywhere I’m not

It's just I know myself and I’ll sacrifice everything I’ve got

Though I can’t afford to eat as much as I would like to be

And my bills won’t pay themselves so I’ll come up with another scheme

This place looks better from a passenger window

Or when stared at from up above

But when you’re chasing brightness

You'll lose concern with the damage done

It's not my fault

I’ll try to call

No ties no roots I'm fine.
