Travelogue

Last week I had a dream
That I healed every wound I inflicted
I woke and couldn?t sleep
So, I sat up in the dark
And traveled every day that brought me this one
And later down the highway I saw my past
Across a map of the world
And it all came clear east of Pittsburg
It?s hard to go back once you?ve gone

By the time I reached Philly
I?d lost all my pride
Just wanted someone to understand
You know every story of my life
I told the new ones while you listened
Is it wrong to know your closest friend
Better than your love
Is it wrong to get the two confused
Even though I came clear
Across a thousand miles
Lately my dreams have me
Thinking of you

Time stands still when you?re moving on
I learned that the hard way
Too many hours to dream what is
And never was
Across blurred and endless songs
I?ve listened to every song
That reminds me of you
Since I packed my bags and drove away
I?ve reminded myself if every word you?ve every said
But I?m lost to my defenses these days

Took the pieces of the puzzle
Tried to make a new fit
But like they say you can?t rewrite the truth
And I?d never cross the line
For fear of everything I?d lose
But I laid it out for strangers
I laid it out for you
I played a song near beauty for perfection
You mouthed my history
From the back of the room
And I found
The past to the future with me caught between
I?m caught between

Last night I had a dream
That I healed every wound I inflicted
I woke and couldn?t sleep
So I wrote down these words
Another song for you
And later down the highway
I heard love?s voice telling me
Everything was wrong
And it all came clear east of Austin
It?s hard to go back once you?ve gone

The past to the future with me caught between
I?m caught between
