lyrics

If I had a desire to learn how to drive
I'd run out to the fields of the midwest, maybe Idaho
Without a single look back
I've grown a quick distaste for the city

And I've got friends who always seem to get uneasy when they can't feel the ocean
It's just not the way I prefer to see myself as insignificant
Cause the only times I've felt at home these past few years
Was when I ground slowly died beneath my feet

I've spent late nights in the parking lots of churches I'd never step inside
Staring at their brick facades from the safety of the sidewalk
Maybe wanting to feel close to something I've
always considered to be a lie

And I've got friends whose metaphors don't twist with the change of the wind
While I search for religion in between radio stations
Cause if I get far enough away, I'm sure to find it
But then what do I do, when I think that god is listening

I get claustrophobic when I see shorebirds circling
It's a fear of the sea that has nothing to to with drowning
All it does is make me want to believe
When I know, I'll never have the conviction for it

And I've got friends, I've got friends
Who can't stand the solitude I think I always sought
Rightfully afraid of disappearing into nothing or maybe I'm just projecting
I can't seem to decide for myself which one is worse
