[Verse 1]

I am fifty-three steps from my apartment

I've memorized the cracks that age the road

I couldn't quite grasp what my heart meant

But I think that it was telling me to go


[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm going up, down, spinning round

Trying to communicate

But these words aren't quite what I'm trying to say

I'm coming close, close, close

I feel it in my toes, toes, toes


[Chorus]

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road

There's a brand new sky that I need to go

I'm reading signs, signs, signs

And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow

As the road leads me into the great unknown


[Verse 2]

Seventeen blocks from the station

And forty-eight stops from the coast

I could jump with all my clothes on in the ocean

And let the water rock me in her throws


[Pre-Chorus]

And go up, down, spin round

Leave it up to fate

Like some sailor finding comfort in the waves

I'm coming close, close, close

I feel it in my toes, toes, toes


[Chorus]

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road

There's a brand new sky where I need to go

I'm reading signs, signs, signs

And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow

As I walk into the great unknown


[Verse 3]

I feel it in my toes, I know I'm coming close

So I'll leave this old town with her saints and her ghosts

I'm coming close, close, close

The signs say I need to go, go, go


[Chorus]

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road

There's a brand new sky where I need to go

I'm reading signs, signs, signs

And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow

As I walk into the great unknown


[Outro]

As I walk into the great unknown

As I walk into the great unknown
