lyrics

You mail the boxes early
So they're there before your plane has hit the ground
Your family gets together
They're not used to thinking that you'll stick around
And there's no use looking back and yet you can't help
Can't help
Waking every morning
Wondering how the walls could change without a sound
And nothing holds together

Old and new are fighting for attention every day
Sleepless, senseless
Fighting the desire to run away
And you hand is on the plug and yet you can't pull
Can't pull
Back from what you're scared of
You find a kind of power in your own lone way
And an eerie love surrounds you

You hope that in the distance
Some loving arms will open up for you
But now you must resist it
Cuz there's something else that you were made to do
You can read until you're read and yet you must know
Must know
Peace of mind
You need to feel the wires realign
More than you need a lover
