lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've slept on every side of this God-forsaken town
I've watched it flood, I've seen it burn down
I've felt a thousand cold winds roll in from north of here
I've felt the heat of the August sun, it burned me this year

[Verse 2]
I've been down every road, every sidewalk, every street
They felt the pressure of my wandering feet
I've seen through every window of this old midwestern town
It always looks the same but we swear its changing

[Chorus]
The winds came to pick me up
The waters rose to pull me down
And all I did each time was run
But I never ran quite far enough

[Verse 3]
And now I feel the need to sail to new lands
I'm no Columbus but I think you'll understand
Because here I don't ask questions and here I'm sitting still
When I return I'll love this place for different reasons

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
There is a sinkhole and it's swallowing
And every day I tie another link to this chain
And every word I write is a chance taken away
You know I'm asking for a compass and some clarity

[Chorus]
