And I don't know where we're going anyway
And I don't know where we'll be anyway
And I can't stay in one place for more than a year straight
And I don't know where I'm going anyway
You'll be gone two weeks
And that can feel so long
When you've got no job
And a cat scratching at your front door
And one stray sound
Could tear your whole life down
You'll be kicked out
So soon after you got in town
I wanted to die
On that 2 AM bus ride
And I'm sorry for
Making you run into that bush
Reach out to the sea, it's 100 miles away
But it reaches all the way to the place where you are
If I could get one touch, I'd feel a little closer
And it might be kind of lame but I don't really mind
So reach out to the sea, let the water cool me down
Maybe now you'll clear some space to feel anything at all
And I never liked swimming but I like the idea
That touching the Pacific is like circling the Earth, ah!
I know it's hard
For you to stay at home
It's a complex feeling
But you've gotta go out on your own
So I won't say
You shouldn't go away
I'll understand
If you never want to come home
It's a little too hot to feel anything at all
But my dried out skin from cycling too long
Estonia seems nice, I'd like to go someday
But Seattle seems a little less out of the way
And it's a little too hot but I'll get used to it
And I can't let it stop me from smiling too much
So I'll reach out to the sea and quote songs that I love
And it'll rain at least once this year, ah!
I never cared for the summer
But for getting off school
But all the songs about the summer
Colored it in my head
I remember sitting at my school desk
Looking out the window
Admiring the same tree every day
Reminding me of home
(Never ever, never gonna go back
To the place where you grew up
And if you do if you could ever go back
It'll never be the same)
But not everyone had these
Fond memories looking back
Of a home they were glad to grow up in
And to one day go back
So if you wanna leave I won't blame you
I just hope I can come
'Cause I could even love the summer
If I spent it with you
(I never ever wanna come back home
This place just ties me up
To a person a don't wanna see
That I used to be)
Never, ever, never gonna go back
To the place where you grew up
And if you could, if you could ever go back
It'll never feel the same
And I loved my home
But some times you just gotta run away
And make a new home
Somewhere, somewhere far away
I hope we can
Find a place that we love someday
And I don't know
Where I'll go but we'll make it anyway
