Bed of Salt

I sing my pride to sleep
On a bed of salt
I started running cause
Running my mouth grows old
Now they carve holes in the earth
Because they have been told
That they're gonna find
Water to quench their thirst

I'm not in love
But that doesn't mean you believed me when
I spoke with a cold tone in my voice
Every woe through the eyes of a different you
No need to admit that I miss you too

I read my name on the boarding card
And thought that maybe I
After all this time
Deserve to rest my head

And the promise of the world
It melts snow in my eyes
I guess the callous that you are
It still grew of my own skin

If it meant something now
It would've meant something back then
I'll give my eyes to the clouds
My heart to the open road again
Cause if I mean something now
Why didn't I mean a thing back then?

I felt the weight have mercy for
All of my bigger bones
When I accepted you
As nothing less than my home
And I know went way too far
But this is how far I'll go
