lyrics

There’s one thing I don’t condone
Its this endless ache that’s inside my bones
No matter how hard i try
My heart won’t comply

It’s all so clear, it’s in the air
Im choking on the atmosphere
But do I do dare go grab my keys
And up and leave

Should I just drive
And leave this mess behind
Cause I’m so sick of this old place
With every passing streetlight
Ill breathe in new life

There’s no way that i will last
This path that I walk on has got broken glass
With every step that I take
The sharper the pain

And will I find serenity
While feeling the pacific breeze
I'll start from scratch
My slate, wiped clean
And finally breathe

Should I just drive
And leave this mess behind
Cause I'm so sick of this old place
With every passing streetlight
Ill breathe in new life

With every mile
The weight will subside
And then this shadow
will die

It seems so wrong
But I'm so lost

It seems so wrong
But I'm so lost

Should I just drive
And leave this mess behind
Cause I'm so sick of this old place
With every passing streetlight
Ill breathe in new life
