lyrics

I was almost home when it started pouring
I was way out of line
You were days away from being ready to hear
The hell that was raining down on my mind
I was born to ramble away from home
But conditioned to feel its pull
I started down the unpaved road
As it eats away and away at my soul

I was given strength enough to continue
To see through your jaded eyes
It was blue as the sky beneath them
Where dreams were held just out of reach tonight
I was standing in the darkness
Where I waited so many times
On the edge of town, my darling
When you arrived you shouted out

I want more
What is more if this is everything?
What is more?
What is more if this is everything?
I’m just working
I’m just writing
I’m just waiting for a good time
I’m just staring out a window
Looking for a sign that’ll never come

A beautiful thought came over me
I was happy where I was
But the world had moved on before then
Yeah, well it came too late and it meant too much
I was keeping you at arm’s length
Where I keep everyone else
But this time at least I was pulling you in
Yeah, at least I was reaching out

For so much more
What is more if this is everything?
What is more?
What is more if this is everything?
I’m just working
I’m just writing
I’m just waiting for a good time
I’m just staring out a window
Looking for a sign that’ll never come
I’m just waiting for a good time that’ll never come
I’m just waiting for a good time that’ll never come
