Nine Days

(专辑： Five Interstates - 2008)

I've been fishing this river
Four days and three nights
No coffee with breakfast
And I don't feel alright
All this time on my hands
And all of my arms
So many we've hurt
That there's none left to harm

Take me back up the river to my home
I've earned nothing here worthy to save
And I'm tired of pushing my hands

Boat bought by my father
I can't seem to earn
Nothing feels like it's mine
Except these bridges I've burned
Here I hide all my troubles
While I try to keep face
I'm behind my own self
I can't keep my own pace

Take me back down the road to my home
I've earned nothing here worthy to save
And I'm tired of racing myself

Five days to row home
Still I've nothing to save
It's all the work that I've wasted
That makes me this way
I'm twisting this piece
That I took on myself
Only hope for me left
Is to redefine wealth

Let me back in the house that's my home
I've earned nothing here worthy to save
And I'm tired of making excuses
