lyrics

I remember the days when you loved me
You were my sun and my moon
Each morning I’d rise feeling grateful
For each night that I spent laughing with you

Every melody you sang was lovely
You could do no wrong
So my world turned like that on your axis
But humans are only so strong
You couldn’t hold me for long

Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, might be time to go westbound

I remember the days when I loved you
How eternal they seemed
We never even thought to drink from the fountain
Didn’t think that it was something we’d need

Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, it might be time to go westbound

Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, might be time to go westbound

Or eastbound, or centralbound
Or anywhere but here bound
You know I get so sad when you’re around
Cuz all you do is bring me down
And baby, baby I’m done with that now
