Lyrics

[Verse 1] Polished my shoes, I bought a brand new hat Moved to a town that time forgot Where I don't have to shave or be approachable No, I can do just what I want I wanna walk in that howling wind 'Til it scatters all my thoughts Sit alone on that riverbank 'Til I forget that I can talk Just listen [Verse 2] They say everyone has a choice to make To be loved or to be free I told you once I felt invisible And I'm sure, by now, you've seen That what I meant is I'm not all there Until I finally leave Some loneliness is acceptable And some's just outright mean It gets even [Chorus] Ivy crawls up the garden wall Builds a ladder towards the sun Can't be climbed, but who's gonna mind If I claim it can be done? Illusion [Bridge] And the sun goes down And the stars come out In the distance that I felt I can see it for myself now [Verse 3] Boarded a train to take my memories back Make up for time that I have lost I'll never know if I'm delusional I just believe that I am not I'm gonna work for my sanity Give it everything I've got Though so far, I have cheated death I know someday I'll get caught Just living [Chorus] So here we go, man, it's beautiful Get your trumpet, get your drum Keeping time in a second line It can make you feel so young I know you say you'll go all the way But that's not quite far enough [Outro] Someone told me that same thing Someone told me that same thing Someone told me that exact same thing once
