The Letter

The day's long, and the nights go on
I can still remember the first song
I wrote from the name of
Every bodies ghost just before you were gone.

And you're so wrong to walk on
Every lover's prayer, every other psalm
You wrote the wrong name on
The letter that was lost to the war that I won

I want to go somewhere they don't know my name
I want to be somebody else just for a day
And it's the only thought that ever keeps me sane
Now do you want to leave or do you love me anyway

I never got a break from the seven cities
I was always on a plane somewhere else
So we both know what the cards show
This is not a home, that is not a role

I want to go somewhere they don't know my name
I want to be somebody else just for a day
And it's the only thought that ever keeps me sane
Now do you want to leave or do you love me anyway

Step closer, I wanna know ya
Step closer, I wanna know ya
Step closer, I wanna are you wave or are you an ocean?
