about

It’s a song about feeling trapped and entrapped. The idea being the feeling of being trapped by the things you wish to entrap. The song fluctuates through this dichotomy of disappointment, loss, hope and joy and basically moves in an out of these four subjects/topics.

lyrics

The fading tales move away
What if the sky doesn’t fall on me
What if I was greeted by a different face
Every time I’m at the door
Allow yourself to fall down
Be swallowed up when you hit the ground
I feel so alone in this town
And feel the same anywhere else

Keep the lamps trimmed and burning
We get tired of standing still
What do you do when you’re not here
What do you do when you’re not here
Well you were written off with no revision
You were written off so I was never wrong
There’s no way of knowing if it aint worth it
Can’t go back to a place I’ve already lost

C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way

You don’t have to explain everything
Sweeping gestures will do
Always on the way to somewhere else
Hidden behind ranges looking for you
And is there another side I have not seen
The country I knew disappeared
Lonely roads and cheap motels
Names of places you thought you never knew

C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way

Well I, can make
My own, mistakes
On my own…

And there’s a moment when we fade
In love and loss, and loss and love
And all the hours spoken through the night
Come fading back, fading back to you
No more clouds and no more rain
No more people to hang onto
There’s hopelessness in all the shame
And blame in everything we do

C:
Well I am ready
You’re already on your way
