Has it hit you yet
'Cause it's dawned on me
Like a sunrise on summer solstice
Way up in the Arctic Sea
Now there's no denyin'
We can't keep lyin'
To each other
To ourselves
About the things that we once felt
We spend all day walkin' hand in hand
Actin' like we both understand
You say you'll be fine
Say you'll be patient
Try it all over again
But when the time comes for us to part
You start actin' like
I've done left you in the dark
I try to give you my love
But you turn it away
And we argue all over again
'Cause the things you want need roots and soil
And the path I walk will cause turmoil
You wanna talk about sustainability
Let's talk about it realistically
'Cause I'm gone all year from spring to fall
Even winter I'm barely here at all
You want a lover in your bed
But I'm sleepin' on strangers' couches instead
We'll spend all night makin' love til dawn
Hash it out when the morning comes
You say you'll be fine
I say I'll be faithful
Start it all over again
But when the time comes for me to leave
This time for much longer than a week
You'll be silent at the table
And break down when I speak
♪
'Cause I knew right from the start
This would only break your heart
But you swore to me you could handle it
Swore to me you'd be fine
It's a tangled web we weave
And you can count on me to leave
I'm not the one to have and hold you
But maybe in another life
We'd have a big old house where we both could live
Some dogs and cats and a couple of kids
In another life maybe
Not this time around
I got a ramblin' soul
I lead a nomad's life
I'm married to the joys and strife
Of a world out on the road
One I gotta walk alone
Yeah, a world out on the road
One I gotta go my own
