about

This is a song about leaving everything behind.

lyrics

The last we spoke
my heart was in a new place
like a flower in a glass vase
laughing at the wind

I lost hope
of breaking champagne on a large boat
cutting ribbons to a new home
and changing everything

cause i'm restless
and impatient
all my plans are feeling wasted

why would i move away
why would i not
i needed a little space
look what i've got
a room with a balcony
and no furniture
this might be the end of me
i'm sure there's much worse

So i moved away
did you receive my invitation
a note of gratification
mishandled by the post

Cause I lost my way
a metal tin can takes me places
of matchstick men and matchstick faces
soundtracks i love the most

cause i'm restless
and impatient
all my plans are feeling wasted

why would i move away
why would i not
i needed a little space
look what i've got
a room with a balcony
and no furniture
this might be the end of me
i'm sure there's much worse

have i moved on
like a boat chases the horizon
or a stone convinced of flying
never getting very close
