Mileage

Mileage  -  Neck  Deep

The  last  place  I  want  to  be  is  home"

Is  what  they  all  say,

They  say  it  like  they  know

But  every  road  leads  home,

And  every  exit  takes  somewhere  I  don't  know

And  every  city  says  it's  burnt  itself  out,

Everybody  wants  to  be

more  than  a  face  in  the  crowd

Pull  me  out  from  beneath

Concrete  paths  and  fallen  leaves,

You  can  lay  here  in  the  moss

Choose  to  fall  in  line,

I've  been  laying  in  the  dark

Think  I'll  be  just  fine

Pull  me  out  from  beneath

Wasted  time  and  stressful  weeks,

You  can  lay  here  in  the  moss

I  will  bide  my  time,

Cause  I've  been  laying  in  the  dark

Trying  to  get  things  right

And  it  tears  me  apart

How  we  knew  from  the  start  of  the  year

These  would  be  our  last  days

But  what  makes  you  think

that  your  ship  won't  sink

You  can  run,  but  inside  it  will  feel  the  same

Inside  it  will  feel  the  same

Don't  let  it  keep  you  awake

Don't  let  it  tear  you  apart  at  the  seams

Pull  me  out  from  beneath

Concrete  paths  and  fallen  leaves,

You  can  lay  here  in  the  moss

Choose  to  fall  in  line,

I've  been  laying  in  the  dark

Think  I'll  be  just  fine

Pull  me  out  from  beneath

Wasted  time  and  stressful  weeks,

You  can  lay  here  in  the  moss

I  will  bide  my  time,

Cause  I've  been  laying  in  the  dark

Trying  to  get  things  right

And  you  will  find  a  piece  of  mind

underneath  the  doubt

The  light  will  dim  and  we  will  grow

but  it  won't  burn  out

Don't  let  the  weight  on  your  shoulders

drag  you  down

Just  let  me  know  the  next  time

you're  back  in  town
