I woke up one day With my spirit drained And the fog came The mood that we both knew Isn't exactly how I wanted to leave Everything was scattered in pieces They watched through their windows and made me feel crazy But I wasn't done yet I had to get my life together on my own time And now the wrong drive out of the dark will carry me on From the coast of Carolina In my bones I feel it grow old I see sky and open road And sometimes I just need a release To get myself back up I feel that it is something to leave And I'm not coming home I used to think that I'd die young I'll live forever And watch the world in my way I put way too much in this place to go And meanwhile all my friends are still in London We talk sometimes, it's like nothing's ever changed They just relate to my sanity They just relate to my sanity So I leave my head The future is forgotten off the mind Here I am trying to make things right Everything I am and everything I was It's a sign that I'm open to Waking up again From the coast of Carolina In my bones I feel it grow old I see sky and open road And sometimes I just need a release To get myself back up I feel that it is something to leave And I'm not coming home I used to think that I'd die young I'd live forever And watch the world in my way I put way too much in this place to go And meanwhile all my friends are still in London We talk sometimes, it's like nothing's ever changed They just relate to my sanity They just relate to my sanity They just relate to my sanity
