I'll take down the clock and throw out my watch.
Run someplace new with my phone turned off.
Whether by boat, by plane, or on my own two feet
My heart is begging for a change, can you hear it bleed?
I'll sit on a hill, pull out clumps of grass
Forget what was "taught" in last Sunday's Mass
Throw out all my ideas of a traditional life
But I swear to God I'll figure it out, sometime
I'll make it sometime, I swear I'll make it there
Take her to the sea. Open her eyes too.
Ask her to come with me
She'll ask, "Why you?"
Remind myself that "time" really can't exist
All the roads are lined
Check them off my list
Tomorrow won't come if I'm standing in wait
I'll come back yesterday
Bring back the time I didn't take
I'll make it sometime.
I'll make it there.
