lyrics
why wait? let’s pull up stakes today
i’m ready to go anywhere
i’m ready to go anywhere
why say these are things that hold us back?
we’re ready to go anywhere
we’re ready to go anywhere
step out, wondering where i am
i can’t stand still
my restless bones won’t let me
where to? pull out the map, let’s go!
i’m ready to go anywhere
i’m ready to go anywhere
who knows how long we’ll be around?
i’m ready to go anywhere
i’m ready to go anywhere - fighting monsters 2:31

lyrics
don't think you have to go down that road alone
someone is on your side
don't wonder how you’ll do what you need to do
hope is endless as the sky
but it's long and twisted, the path that you're headed
there's no way to get through but to go through it
if you're fighting a monster, you know how that goes
there's no way to get through but to destroy it
wind blows cold and leaves rattle, fall on the roof
sirens whine, don't see the lights
when you do what you need to do you'll see
hope as endless as the sky
it's long and twisted, the path that you're headed
there's no way to get through but to go through it
if you're fighting a monster, you know how that goes
there's no way to get through but to destroy it - the dark, the stars, the dirt, the snow 4:23

lyrics
something about nights being so dark
can't see my hand in front of my face
getting lost on my way back home
seeing a little further out in space
the way the stars shine out here
makes me dread going back to the city
i could never live in the middle of nowhere
but there has to be somewhere in between
something about walking on a dirt road
it's a different feel wherever you go
faces and voices with slight variations
people living lives i will never know
something about snow in the desert
it's beautiful, seems so out of place
when i travel this all kinda runs together
it's anywhere and i’m up for the chase
the way the stars shine - details 3:05

lyrics
the highway stretches out further than i can see
with a choice of direction and everything waiting for me
taking in every sight i can
and hoping you are seeing the same things I am
there are times i don’t notice the details that surround me
other times i find i’m amazed by almost everything
like the feel of the road when i’m driving too slow
or how friendly people can be when they say “hello”
the crunch of leaves and dry grass under my feet
or the effortless way you look at me
some days i don’t leave my house and i’m perfectly happy
some days i can’t stand it, i’ll go crazy if i don’t leave
i need you so bad sometimes it hurts
but saying things like that just makes it worse - miss you pretty often 2:31

lyrics
i still miss you pretty often
when i forget you’re gone
never saw you enough, now that’ll never change
things return to normal, but it’s always strange
i still miss you in the fall
and when i listen to lou
we never played that song, now that’ll never change
things return to normal, but it’s always strange
i still miss you when i’m laughing
at something i shouldn’t
we never talked enough, now that’ll never change
things return to normal, but it’s always strange - stories you've been told 4:23

lyrics
waiting for it all to get to the point
or wherever it's going
will there be anything
when the smoke clears
when the fires burn out
will anyone remember those
they marked and left on the road
will you find your love
when the smoke clears
when the fires burn out
keep some demons to yourself
keep some demons for yourself
and let the rest out
when you face the enemy
and all the stories you've been told
will you find your peace
when the smoke clears
when the fires burn out - misery loves 2:27

lyrics
haven't seen you, friend, in oh so long
wonder how you're doing, if you're still keeping on
there was a time we looked out for each other
we might not need that anymore but sometimes i still wonder
if we still spoke would i still be waiting
for a phone call informing me you'd done something crazy
there was a time we looked out for each other
wonder if i let you down or if we let down each other
haven't seen you, friend, and i know it's been some time
think about finding you, don't know if i have the right
there was a time we looked out for each other
we may never be as lonely as when we had each other - sorry 0:51

lyrics
to get to where i’m going
i’m gonna need a thick pair of boots
because i don’t know if it’ll be cold
it might rain or even snow
to get to where i’m going
i guess i’d better read the news
because i don’t know what happened today
and i know i’ll need something to say
to tell you how i feel
i’m gonna need some christmas lights
wrapped around a hundred trees
the lightest rain and the softest breeze
to tell you how i feel
i’m gonna need a few more songs
wrapped around this old guitar and
sung kinda poorly to wherever you are
to get to where i’m going
i may need a map or two
i’ll follow the trail wherever it goes
till i find myself on the right road
to get to where i’m going
i may need to get some rest
when i fall asleep will i dream and
find in my mind some deeper meaning - small space 2:20
»
lyrics
no big deal that you’re going so far away
we’ll see each other real soon
i can find ways to keep myself busy
and fool myself into thinking
i’m not missing you
in this small space it’s too obvious
you’re nowhere in the room
i can find ways to make distracting noises
and fool myself into thinking
i’m not missing you
our home is always moving around
it’s what we choose to do
we can find ways to settle in a new place
but i can’t fool myself
i’m still missing you - a good impression 2:33

lyrics
used to be afraid of seeing ghosts
but now i wish i could
there are people i'd like to see again
and you, yeah you, yeah you
are one of them
still have the book you said was your favorite
the last time we got together
still can't bear to open it up
but i promise i will, i will
i will read it someday
never know when you’ll get a bad news phone call
never know when your days will end
i just hope to leave a good impression
and you, yeah you, yeah you
you know i love you - more of the world 2:46

lyrics
let’s hang up a map
of every place we want to see
then we’ll make a list
and visit each one, maybe randomly
i’m not restless
but i’d love to see more of the world
it’s been a long time since
we packed up for a long trip
and though the days fly by
i hope we never get used to it
i like routine
but i’d love to see more of the world
it’s so easy to forget
how many great things can happen in a day
and it’s hard to remember
not everyone has something sarcastic to say
it’s so easy to forget
how many great things can happen in a day
and it’s good to remember
you can always find something nice to say
