I quit my job and then I left that place I
started busking in the cold on the street
Chapped up lips and a smile on my face
Even though no one was noticing me
My mum was scared to death and she said careful of strangers
I just hugged her tight and said time to leave
So I packed up what I had and went from city to town
And then from open mic to sofa to street
Oh I've been scared to death I'll keep going till I'm out of breath
Won't fall forward and with every step I find out who I am
And it bothers me I've lost people living recklessly
I hope one day that I find my peace and they might understand
If I could call you,
been so long since I saw you Memories fade like tattoos,
but you still linger on my mind
Sometimes I go back to drinks and our faces throw back Cause
now it's all sold out shows and broken heart love songs
I just wish that you had come along
Every now and then I catch my mind as it
wanders down the streets that only memories know
Still *** the lip by laughter,
there's two smokes in an ashtray,
but how many conversations ago?
And isn't it just mad though,
used to talk all night on an iPhone,
planning out how life could go
Thought I was insightful,
but inside my mind I was losing control
Oh
I've been scared to death I'll keep going till I'm out of breath
Won't fall forward and with every step I find out who I am
And it bothers me I've lost people living recklessly
I hope one day that I find my peace and they might understand
If I could call you,
been so long since I saw you Memories fade like tattoos,
but you still linger on my mind
Sometimes I go back to drinks and our faces throw back Cause
now it's all sold out shows and broken heart love songs
I just wish that you had come along
I just wish that you had come along
I just wish that you had come along
