We have one week left
And damn, I love these accents
But, my God, I miss my bed

And reading signs I understand
I still do love this
And I said I could keep it up

Though I knew that it'd be rough
Maybe I didn't understand



There are nights I'd rather stay at home
In the floor with my friends

Singing songs that embarrass us all
From the times when we first met



I'm keeping sketchbooks again
But they're less pages than spine

As every body's newer chapters
Keep me grasping at mine



If I were only two inches shorter
I'd sleep so perfectly in this van

But my head stays full, while my body is sore
Six feet of puny arms and nightmares



Five years on top of wheels
Breaking my back in this floor

For glorified ideas of home
That I know, simply don't exist anymore



I'm keeping sketchbooks again
But they're less pages than spine

As every body's newer chapters
Keep me grasping at mine
Wrecked my own nerves

Twisted and bent into the worst positions
Who could I expect to love
A mangled man with expired ambitions



Despite the weather being overcast, I'll keep sunglasses on

For the first two of this ten hour drive
Let me cope through this backseat view of capitols
Listening to all the songs That made me want to be here in the first place

Let me cope through this backseat view of capitols
Listening to any song
That made me want to be here in the first place



I'm keeping sketchbooks again

But they're less pages than spine
As every body's newer chapters
Keep me grasping at mine
