about
recorded on a sunday
lyrics
i go back to oaktown
another place to be
in the mirror i see the way back
to the old town
take another look and never gets any nearer
in fact
it gets farther away
in a way it always seems to change
and when i stop it catches me
its safe to walk, and its safe to breathe
i brushed you off so casually
my self has got a hold on me
im on track now a little older
i didnt used to be
but im used to seeing into the cracks
of the old now
take another look and it always gets a bit clearer
its a trap
as it gets further away
in a way it always seems to change
when i stop it fetches me
until its safe to talk and its safe to be
the chords still prop up prophecy
quarter notes stop and the chorus leads
another place to be
in the mirror i see the way back
to the old town
take another look and never gets any nearer
in fact
it gets farther away
in a way it always seems to change
and when i stop it catches me
its safe to walk, and its safe to breathe
i brushed you off so casually
my self has got a hold on me
im on track now a little older
i didnt used to be
but im used to seeing into the cracks
of the old now
take another look and it always gets a bit clearer
its a trap
as it gets further away
in a way it always seems to change
when i stop it fetches me
until its safe to talk and its safe to be
the chords still prop up prophecy
quarter notes stop and the chorus leads
