lyrics

Turning the lock he’s slipping out the back door
Off to find a place he’s never been before
Streetlight blues they trickle down his shoulders
His young reflection is in the glass but he feels much older

And I know you better now, better than before
At least I hope, I hope I never change you like I did before.

Shoelace Jones he’s standing on the corner
Set up for success now he’s just a stoner
Railroad ties they hold his bones down
They would’ve flown away if he hadn’t had them bound
You don’t need it, you can’t see it, no

You know me better now, better than you’d hoped
Or so I’m told, and I want to hate you but I just don’t know

He’s seen this all before, in his memories and dreams
One day he’ll never know the life he used to lead

Turning the lock he’s slipping out the back door
Hoping that someplace there’s just something more
