It takes two flights for me to get back home to the states
And two more flights before I finish this marathon day
Then I’m driving two more hours down this lonely highway
Till I’m back to the place
Where my head first was laid
But that’s what i get for running so far away
From where my dreams they play
That’s what I get for living so far away
From where my dreams they play
Where I’m running from I don’t remember how to say the name
Where I’m running to only god herself could ever really say
And all these languages start to sound similar
Hell they sound just the same
And I can’t find the words I need to try to explain
But that’s what I get for running so far away
From where my dreams they play
But that’s what I get for running so far away
From where my dreams they play
Still I’m holding on
Just one more song
Turns into one more year gone
When will I stop
Singing it wrong
I guess I’ll see you again when the time finally rings true
In that place we bury so far beneath our tombs
Yeah, You’ll be waiting there for me
Well, I’ll be waiting just for you
To come by every single night
To tell me what I could never do
But that’s what I get for running so far away
From where my dreams they play
But that’s what I get for running so far away
From where my dreams they play
