Your mama died and left you the farm
You moved back from the city, learned to see the stars
Forgotten lives you forgot you carried
Your former selves you forgot to bury
You read the old books you used to need
To make you whole, make you feel complete
Then you made the drinks you used to love
But somewhere, you lost the taste for the social drugs
The ancient, empty skies
That haunt you all your life
Projections of the lights that have long left you behind
When it doesn't feel like home
You turn the music up
'Cause time, it takes its toll
And it don't feel like it was
But it hits you when it does
And you roll the windows down
And you turn the music up
When the Sun shines on this town
It almost feels like love
We're infinite enough
You told the stories, but they fell through
In a strange land where the stranger's you
And all the masks that you used to wear
Just to find out here nobody cares
You saw a girl from afar
She was reading Joyce at the local bar
You found the words and brought her home
To your childhood bed in a thunderstorm
Those ancient, empty skies
Will haunt you all your life
Projections of the lights that have long left us behind
When it doesn't feel like home
You turn the music up
'Cause time, it takes its toll
And it don't feel like it was
But it hits you when it does
And you roll the windows down
And you turn the music up
When the Sun shines on this town
It almost feels like love
We're infinite enough
Can you see the Sun rising?
Can you see the blue sky shining?
The only thing stronger than all that I can find is
Time
When it doesn't feel like home
You turn the music up
'Cause time, it takes its toll
And it don't feel like it was
But it hits you when it does
And you roll the windows down
And you turn the music up
When the Sun shines on this town
It almost feels like love
We're infinite enough
