green plains

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Wonder 

Painted on the window 

Took a picture 

To make it last a little longer 

Hasn’t even been a blink 

But the road has already said goodbye 

  

[Verse 2]

Gold eyes 

Soaking up the sun on the horizon 

With the slightest bit of hope for a better life and 

Excitement brimming at the sight of 

The greenest plains 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh no 

Your hands are tied 

A train awaits 

 

Sweet freedom 

Settles like a heavy weight 

As this chapter ends 

   

[Chorus]

Pack your bags and your dreams 

Now it’s time to go home 

Know you don’t belong here 

That was never the goal 

But with the clothes off your back 

You can trek any mile 

Oh, the places you’ll go 

Claiming, “the world is mine” 

[Verse 3]

Brown eyes framed 

By a falling curtain 

Of dark lashes 

Shooting somber glances 

At a sky of pinks, blues and oranges 

And the forestry beyond this pane 

They’ve lost their luster 

En route to a concrete tower 

Where I’ve spent so many wasted hours  

Dreaming of the greenest plains  

I’ll never see again 

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh no 

Your hands are tied 

A train awaits 

 

Sweet freedom 

Settles like a heavy weight 

As this chapter ends 

   

[Chorus]

Pack your bags and your dreams 

Now it’s time to go home 

Know you don’t belong here 

That was never the goal 

But with the clothes off your back 

You can trek any mile 

Oh, the places you’ll go 

Claiming, “the world is mine” 

[Bridge]

Such a heavy price to pay to be alive 

The road’s a lonely home, but you’re better off alone  

[Pre-Chorus]

Pack your bags and your dreams 

Now it’s time to go home 

Know you don’t belong here 

That was never the goal 

But with the clothes off your back 

You can trek any mile 

Oh, the places you’ll go 

Claiming, “the world is mine”

 

[Outro]

I’m going home 

Home 

Home 

Home 

Home 

Home 

Home 

But I don’t want to go 

Back

[Verse 1]

Torrential rain

No one else to blame

For a missing umbrella

Making the most out the weather

While alone in a new state

 

Think I’ve run out of luck

Now that I’m all out of fucks

To give

Took the light in me to dim

Before it all finally clicked

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Soaked but otherwise spotless

(Oh, well)

Cold, unforgiving water droplets

(I feel)

And even in the face of disaster

I’m here

I’m still here

 

[Chorus]

All the money in the world and the

Promises I got as a little girl

Were never meant to keep me going

I wasted so much time roaming

 

I finally made it off the concrete path

You’d have to drag me just to go back

To a place I barely existed and

Everyone would rather wish me good riddance

 

[Chorus]

All the money in the world and the

Promises I got as a little girl

Were never meant to keep me going

I wasted so much time roaming

 

I finally made it off the concrete path

You’d have to drag me just to go back

To a place I barely existed and

Everyone would rather wish me good riddance

 

[Bridge]

At the end of the shower,

Staring at sprawling dewberry flowers,

I’m brushing back wet braids,

Got a 20 minute walk of shame

But I’ve got gold eyes and I’m smiling

[Pre-Chorus]

Soaked but otherwise spotless

(Oh well)

Cold, unforgiving water droplets

(I feel)

And even in the face of disaster

I’m here

I’m still here

[Chorus]

All the money in the world and the

Promises I got as a little girl

Were never meant to keep me going

I wasted so much time roaming

 

[Outro]

I pray to be gone tonight
