I'm packing the car and then I'm leaving
I'm giving myself some time for grieving
Gonna take a drive to Tennessee to heal the broken parts of me
Gonna try to find out what I want and what I need
Shadows tend to grow
When I'm all alone
Every ringing phone
I let it hang like smoke
Truth is like a little pill
Deep down I know
It's hard to swallow
Sometimes I'd rather choke
If what I want is always out of reach
It's cause I let it waste away in me
Cut me down and count the rings
I haven't forgotten what's behind me
A mountain of things that need forgiving
But every time I try to turn around
I know I'm letting myself down
So I'm following the signs that guide me to the next town
Shadows tend to grow
When I'm all alone
Every ringing phone
I let it hang like smoke
Truth is like a little pill
Deep down I know
It's hard to swallow
Sometimes I'd rather choke
If what I want is always out of reach
It's cause I let it waste away in me
Cut me down and count the rings
I'm tired of waiting for a reason (chance to be)
I'm ready for something to believe in (a different dream)
Cause even in my sleep I feel the change coming
No, I can't erase it
Yeah, I'm gonna chase it
