Tearing up the map
Into loose ends.
Staring at the marks
Wondering where they went
Longing for what seems
Like a mystery
Weathered spirits while
In bad company
High hopes can't last forever
High hopes will only let you down
Even though familiar faces change
Even though good people drift away
Forget their faults and sob stories
Lift your eyes and sail up north
Drifting off the tracks
Chasing frayed threads
Glancing at the path
Harboring old regrets
Lingering on events you can't foresee
Hollowed out and wandering
Stormy seas
High hopes can't last forever
High hopes will only let you down
Even though familiar faces change
Even though good people slip away
All along it was sob stories
That filled your sails and lead you astray
How much can you swallow
Just to keep your head afloat?
How long will you stray on
A place beyond the empty shores?
How much can you swallow
Just to keep your head afloat?
How long will you stray on
A place beyond the empty shores?
