Hey Jack it's me,
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter
of miles.
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher
than redwood trees.
And I know your demise.
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.
To flow under me
Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my
hair.
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I
hadn't gone anywhere.
When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever
claim.
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and
rotten remains when I got home.
Hey Jack its me
I dont mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind (x3)
end on Em
