Here I go, I'm awake No safety net, no fire escape Pounding blood, icy hands Eatching all the falling grains of sand How can I abandon this The only home I know Leaving's not as hard as letting go Oh my father - am I far enough from you As I wander like we always knew I'd do I forgive you But on a night like this I can not pretend that I miss you And you will not see me soon Making sense (you say you're nothing like me) Of this place (that I don't know) Like a knot (my words go through you) Unraveling (just like a ghost) Racing mind (you won't be far from my thoughts) Out of breath (I'll leave the porch light on) I was miles away years before I left (if you need a place you know) But how can I abandon this The only life I know Oh my father - am I far enough from you As I wander like we always knew I'd do I forgive you But on a night like this I can not pretend that I miss you And you will not see me soon Years have crackled and burned All these battles won and lessons learned My scars just part of my skin They've made the man I am, but I can Still remember the day I was oh so young and open minded Now I'm off on my own But I leave behind these words for you Oh my father - am I far enough from you As I wander like we always knew I'd do I forgive you But on a night like this I can not pretend that I miss you And you will not see me soon
