After the third mile running
I thought I would know the road by now
Or figure out the way somehow
I'm chained to the same old habits
The empty cell is free to leave
I've seen it all but don't believe
You stare me down to let me know
I will never let it go
Sun will set, waves will crash the same old way
And still I go and say goodbye like yesterday
Can't you see it's hard for me to understand
The wind will meet the ocean where there's no more sand
I start the car, but I can't move
I'm worried I'll forget to break
The stars have kept me wide awake
The struggle is temporary
I try to escape to set things right
Your room will stay yours for the night
You stare me down to let me know
You will never let me go
Sun will set, waves will crash the same old way
And still I go and say goodbye like yesterday
Can't you see it's hard for me to understand
The wind will meet the ocean where there's no more sand
