You moved up north to get away from home
You needed to get away from everybody you know
You found a job waiting tables
But the tips paid good so you stayed a while
Your parents wanted you to be a bit more stable
Funny how many things you can hide with a smile

Life, didn't quite go as you wanted
It's alright, baby just be here in the moment
Drive, to make it seem there's somewhere you're goin
Alright, you thought nobody noticed
Hello anxiety my old friend
I told you I didn't wanna see you again
I thought I left you with a sweet good bye
But you still come round here from time to time

The bus ride home costs you a little bit of your pride
And the city never looked quite as good as it did in your eyes
Cause you a wanderer, who understands the limits of time
Plans are just things to get you started cause they'll shift on a dime
