[Verse 1]

Polished my shoes, I bought a brand new hat

Moved to a town that time forgot

Where I don't have to shave or be approachable

No, I can do just what I want

I wanna walk in that howling wind

'Til it scatters all my thoughts

Sit alone on that riverbank

'Til I forget that I can talk

Just listen

[Verse 2]

They say everyone has a choice to make

To be loved or to be free

I told you once I felt invisible

And I'm sure, by now, you've seen

That what I meant is I'm not all there

Until I finally leave

Some loneliness is acceptable

And some's just outright mean

It gets even

[Chorus]

Ivy crawls up the garden wall

Builds a ladder towards the sun

Can't be climbed, but who's gonna mind

If I claim it can be done?

Illusion

[Bridge]

And the sun goes down

And the stars come out

In the distance that I felt

I can see it for myself now

[Verse 3]

Boarded a train to take my memories back

Make up for time that I have lost

I'll never know if I'm delusional

I just believe that I am not

I'm gonna work for my sanity

Give it everything I've got

Though so far, I have cheated death

I know someday I'll get caught

Just living

[Chorus]

So here we go, man, it's beautiful

Get your trumpet, get your drum

Keeping time in a second line

It can make you feel so young

I know you say you'll go all the way

But that's not quite far enough

[Outro]

Someone told me that same thing

Someone told me that same thing

Someone told me that exact same thing once
