lyrics

You are not where you've been
But where you're going
That's all that i have to look forward to

History repeats
Like we never learn
So why should I be any different

Everywhere I roam
The milestones mark the road
They tick a box for what I owe
This debt will climb without a rope
And drag you down too

I'm ripe for change
Even at my age
Forward my mail 'cause I am moving on

Cut through the phone line
Roll back the meter
Turn the water off, soon I'll be gone

Everywhere I roam
The wolves, they block the road
And take a note of what I've done
This thread is mine and mine alone
Don't pull the twine too hard

Spring turns to Summer
I don't want to change
Autumn turns to winter
And it starts again

Everywhere I go
They mail, message and call
The house, my home, my stronghold
This threat is mine and mine alone
To weave and sew for good
