Alaska

Daddy said to do better son
This life you live ain't for nothing
When do you plan to fight for
The life god has stored for you

I can still see her standing there
In that cold October air
Just grinning like tomorrow came
One joy at a time

I've been tired dear to my bones
It's been awhile since my heart broke
Why do I still feel
All my hang ups and fears

Now I'm stuck here in Alaska
Next time I see you I'll just ask ya
How long'd it take to plan your getaway?

Under this never setting sun
I think about the things I should've done
Guess it'd all come out the same anyway

How are you still standing there?
Where you've been for three damn years
When you were dying to get out
Of this life that kept you a-drowning

Out here where the city meets the sea
There's a little sweet memory
Of my gut pitted, scared to death
Where we went ahead and said yes

I may stay a little bit broken
But I'm not sure if I'll ever get over
The beauty in this place
Or the memory of her sweet face

Now I'm stuck here in Alaska
Next time I see you I'll just ask ya
How long'd it take to plan your getaway?

Under this never setting sun
I think about the things I should've done
Guess it'd all come out the same anyway

When'd you make up your mind
To up and leave me far behind?
I guess it's just one of those things
Where no ones left the one to blame
