There’s a girl on the train, her bags packed, she is running
they told her, she didn’t wanna hear
with the trees whistling by, she thinks she’s really leaving
but there's nowhere to hide around here
and the man in the park
who worked all his lifetime
every turn guided by fear
now sits alone with the birds and the strangers
wondering what became of the years
how were we to know
where do we go from here
how do we let go
of everything
I am scared a little lost but i'm trying
to be the man I thought I ought to be
and if I ever told you I weren’t scared, I was lying
and nothing really changes, my dear
And you’ll find out they all knew but no one told you.
what you should have known all these years
the lessons that can only be learned growing older
would have saved us from all these tears
and you spent all your life building towers
now you cant see the sun in the sky
the choices we made were all ours
so the blame lies on you and I
as for you, do you think you are different
nothing really changes, my dear
with them on your back and the world on your shoulders
everything's wrong around here
how were we to know
where do we go from here
how do we let go
of everything
