Stepping Stones

(专辑： Traverse - 2013)

I'm moving north from this place
where all my dreams have gone astray
cuz I am stuck with one big issue
it's that I can't stay here and wait

Where I grew up
and we would sit and watch the trains
just pass us by
and wonder why
they weren't taking us away

When I am finally gone
and you're all alone
don't forget that this southern state
is my home

You know you're all I'd ever think about
and now it's every reason that I'll ever see this town

Well you know that all I'd do
to get you off my mind
is sit beside my desk
and write a list
of all the reasons why I have to go

I'm staying close
I've kept in touch
and never strayed too far behind

From all the memories
I've kept so clearly
stuck inside my mind

But dear love promise me
you'll never leave
and make the same mistake as me

Please lock your thoughts
throw out the key
your doubts will never set you free

You know you're all I'd ever think about
and now it's every reason that I'll ever see this town

Well you know that all I'd do
to get you off my mind
is sit beside my desk
and write a list
of all the reasons why I have to go

Away from here
and I am leaving on my own
but every single day I always told you
to look out your window

And remember that the sky you see
is the same one for me
your constant fear just keeps you near
a place that you should never be

Cuz I know I'm all you'd ever think about
and now it's every reason that you'll
bring me home to this town

I know that all you'd do
to get me off your mind
is sit beside your desk
and read a list
of every reason why you're not alone
