Dylan Owen - Ithaca is Gorgeous lyrics

[Intro: Dylan Owen] I did a year in the Ivy League But I don't know where I'm from, cause every time I'm in love, I decide to leave There's a compa** that I keep inside of me And its destination is pointing to a destiny I might not reach They'll write a story 'bout our novelty Up on the hillside below the horizon where the sun shines free Yeah I've never been a settler but oh my god how I miss my colony Carry me on [Verse 1: Dylan Owen] This past year's a mystery I'm surprised it didn't finish me off Cause I learned all about history And psychology of course But I could never wait to see the planes fly With a half-empty gla**, I raised mine A toast to the hope we'd been waiting to find I would never burn a bridge so gorgeous ain't go lie I said I'm too tired of this constantly changing And I think about my old home, it's probably raining Am I freer? Surfacing cleaner than IKEA? Hence your name, knew you'd understand why I had to fly, Kia I've been around the world and back got no scars For all the friends I'm not close with, postcards I don't think I'm comfortable dormant Well that's barely a necessity at one in the morning I woke up on back to an English girl asking If she would like my words as much without my New York accent I don't know, I get home, for a second then I go And lock eyes with some strangers I'll never get to know Saying [Hook: Dylan Owen] I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I know we're alone for the minute but no matter how we finish this'll always be a home for me In a circle I found it then That this life is gonna bring us around again So no matter what you say I won't be I won't leave, I won't leave, I won't leave Carry me on [Verse 2: Dylan Owen] I pressed eject on my memory card Took the camera with me, if I ever see dark I'll flash right back to you wherever we are Because our separate sediments settled, veteran hearts I've been to the center of the world Yeah I've been to the center of the world I've been to the center of the world And it's just a hard core Like heavy guitars I'm saying I don't wanna know right know Feeling so locked down Looking up, tracing heaven in stars I rode my lane until I broke my pain We were camping out frozen on the beach, you didn't know my name It'd been a while since I shook my fate He dressed like Kanye but he looked like Drake I was learning how to balance Steady on the longboard Watching my roommate draw Becky from the warm shore We took the car down to bu*termilk Falls At midnight, the water wasn't that cold at all But I didn't jump in, you know why? Because it would have been a while till my soul dried [Hook: Dylan Owen] I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep I know we're alone for the minute but no matter how we finish this'll always be a home for me In a circle I found it then That this life is gonna bring us around again So no matter what you say I won't be I won't leave, I won't leave, I won't leave Carry me on [Bridge: Dylan Owen] They say that Ithaca is Fences now And ever since they put them up none of us are getting out They say that Ithaca is Fences now And ever since they put them up none of us are getting out They say that Ithaca is Fences now And ever since they put them up none of us are getting out Well take it from me, cause I'm on my way This'll always look gorgeous from so far away [Outro: Aidan Cooper] If we fall asleep tonight Our love will keep us warm And you know these days will pa** us by Until we all wake up on our own
