So strange, it feels like autumn
when I watch the heat rise from the street
and it feels just like this afternoon
we set off clad with bare feet
smiles painted broadly
like we wanted all to see
and point their hands at mirrors
of the kids they used to be
and no one could put on a show like I got reelin' in my mind
pictured against roadsides and slipping into true tales when I hit rewind
One more exit till
I cash in all my free will
and somehow that's okay
sometimes that shit gets in the way
I got a wanderer in my headspace
and I can see one in yours too
when we start to see the billboards
of the city we'd assumed
would burn down in our absence
or change colors to match the mood
of anyone who's seen the light
and came running back to soon
and no one could put down a man with a good heart of fool's gold
you can find them on roadsides and listen to the beating of their hearts in odd time
One more exit till
I cash in all my free will
and somehow that's okay
sometimes that shit gets in the way
and I've got it locked down, but I don't know
what I'm even aiming for
and somehow that's okay
sometimes that shit gets in the way
