Happy Endings

Something For Kate

this town makes my mind slow down

lines in my face like highways now

chasing breezes, kicking boulders

and all of the while just getting older



i leave pieces of paper

pieces of myself along the way

out the window, out the window

and i tell myself that



i'll come back for them before i go

and then i won't sing this song tomorrow



reason calls i'm never listening

there's always something more distracting

take everything so seriously

then leave and burn up on re-entry



for happy endings

all these little victories

gathered up and hung on the wall like trophys

i tell myself that



i've been down this road before

so i won't sing this song anymore



i've been down this road before

so i won't sing this song anymore

i've been down on myself enough before

so i won't sing this song anymore
