Watch me fly away
Through the night sky yeah
Now that all you touched
Has finally turned gray

And roads can't hold us down
Winds will move us around
With no need to return
To this gray town

Want to bet I can tell
You've been in bed for too long
So let's just say so long
And I watched you at the cove

You read on rocks below
And I turned home
Without so much as hello
Want to know where I go

I've been away for too long
And it's hard to leave
When I haven't seen
You in so long

And if we had just
Held out for tomorrow
We might have seen
What seemed so far away

We didn't even bother to stay
There it goes I can tell
You're gonna to keep
Your eyes to the ground

Waiting for something
To finally come around
Tell you that you knew
That you weren't wrong

And it's finally time for so long
