Four Wheels 00:51
Hey, hey, hey, it's gotta start today I've got four wheels, and no reason to stay. (repeat x2)
2.
I've got something to say about the morning and the way it always seem to pass us by. the time we sell today, it withers and it frays the days have come and gone away in retrospect we knew exactly what to do, but we chose to turn away we fell into the crowd when expectations got too loud does it even matter now? (chorus:) I may not know which direction I should go, but I've wasted too much time thinking that this is my home. I'm letting go of the things I used to know I'm finding a new life so I can make it my own we've been waiting for a flood to drown the life we had so we could find the road we had ignored the rain has washed away the thoughts of yesterday it's time to find our way back to shore chorus the time we sell today, it withers and it frays. the days have come and gone away. chorus x 2
3.
Leaving 03:39
I remember the long drives and summer days I remember the feeling of disarray it only stands to reason, you thought that I'd be leaving I remember the sound of the radio I remember the places that we would go it only stands to reason, you thought that I'd be leaving …and you were right. (chorus:) I know it's not too late we're caught up in the race if we're all moving forward, why are you so far away? we've fallen to our fate don't let it slip away tomorrow only comes when we let go of yesterday. I remember the things you would say to me I remember the way that it used to be it only stands to reason, you thought that I'd be leaving I remember the look you had on your face when I said I was through with this place it only stands to reason, you thought that I'd be leaving …and you were right. chorus don't wait for me, it's time I go there's one last thing that you should know… …I'm never coming back. chorus x2
4.
walking down these roads again on paths of stone and sage the roads are running through my veins and spilling on the page talking to myself again been sleeping on the floor the road is coming to an end, been down it once before (chorus:) and I'll try to find my way before I'm gone again and I'll try to find my way before I'm gone again before I'm gone, I'll show you what it means to be alive I'll pack some clothes and this guitar, get in the car, and drive I won't stop there, I promise you with all that I can give before I'm gone, I'll look back and I'll know that I had lived chorus the days all blend together and it's lonely on these roads breathe the air into my lungs so you can bring me home the sunset is behind me now I'm heading to the shore just a few more nights alone, and I'll be headed north chorus x2
5.
it's colder than I expected these old strings are going sharp the path is lit with a string of lights to lead us through the dark my home is in a backpack my shoes are wearing thin they say we've got to change our ways to fix the mess we're in and on it goes… and on it goes... I'm not sure where I'll sleep tonight or if I'll wake alive I could find myself a home but I don't want to try 'cause I know I'll stay grateful living life this way I know I'll stay grateful if I live it day to day and on it goes… and on it goes... (chorus:) sing one for the drifters sing one for the rogues sing one for the runaways who might not make it home sing one for the captain sing one for the ship sing one for the sailors and the throwaway kids I'm not sure where I'll sleep tonight or if I'll sleep at all I could find my way back home but I don't miss those walls I'll live without restrictions I'll live without restraints killing time and crossing lines with every step I take and on it goes… and on it goes.. chorus we'll leave behind reminders of our time like crumbling pages left to rot along the spine left on paths by riversides and shores, but let's be honest we don't live there anymore chorus x2 …and on it goes.

Alive Again 03:58
I won't ask where we are, but I'll take this guitar, and together, we'll venture these roads I'll travel these states, and I'll make my mistakes, and I will do it all alone I am transient and happy I am rich, though I am poor and being honest when I tell you I am walking out the door …out the door, like so many times before (chorus:) I'm alive again with rooftop dreams in wayward skies, and I am never waiting up for you I'm alive again with rooftops dreams in wayward skies of blue, yeah not sure how far I've gone it's time to pack up and move on, but I'd be lying if I said I'm coming home I'll find myself a stage, and I'll grow quicker than my age, and I will do it all alone we are transient and happy we are worth what we believe like a broken piece of sidewalk, or a street without a name …without a name, it still carries us the same chorus I'm searching myself again this time I'm searching myself again this time not sure what I will find not sure what I will find chorus x2 with rooftop dreams in wayward skies of blue I'm alive.
7.
searching for inspiration in all the wrong places too many lines and too many faces still searching for my home, but if you're not there, then home is nowhere I've seen the sunset at the lake, and I've seen the city lights but all of this looks better as a reflection in your eyes and now it's time to go back home, but if you're not there, then home is nowhere (chorus:) but I've tried without succeeding and the target is receding from my sights, so I'll lay my weapon down, and I'll start to write my story, and I'll let you reassure me that it's right to lost within the sound that silence makes… when we touch I've been walking on these streets waiting for the stars to show, but the clouds have overtaken them, as if to claim them as their own now I can't find my way back home, but if you're not there, then home is nowhere I'll be walking here in circles, hoping I can find the road there's dozens all around me, but there's only one I know it's the one that takes me home, but if you're not there, then home is nowhere chorus x2
8.
The Run 03:08
I was a child on the run, praying hard i would not fail growing older than my age on a long forgotten trail now I'm a man on the climb I've been running strong on hope but this mountain's getting taller, and I'm running out of rope I've been drifting through the years, towards the only place I know, but the road only gets longer the farther on I go I was a child with a plan I would sail so far away, and I would find the other side, but that day, it never came now I man out to sea in a slowly sinking boat now the water's getting deeper, and I never learned to float chorus x3
9.
Rain Down 03:13
I was walking to the river on a lonely day I was waking to the river alone and I couldn't remember the last time I came home I took myself to the bridge, to the rocks on the ridge it was sunny even thought it had rained someday I'll come home and I'll give these these places a name it's like a secret never told, that the keeper doesn't know it's like a word lost deep in a goodbye it's like looking in the distance where the ground meets up with the sky and you think to yourself, if I just keep walking maybe I can make it as well (chorus:) rain down and wash away the footsteps from these streets I don't need them to remember where I've been rain down and wash away the footsteps from these streets rain, rain down on me I was walking downtown, there was dust on the ground making clouds as the world moved there was man on the corner, he was singing himself a tune there's an old warehouse and it's coming down to remind us that the times will change soon, it's gonna be another place, with another name and you think to yourself, if I just keep walking maybe I can change as well chorus rain, rain down on me
10.
Ghost 03:34
with valiant effort, I walk these streets the air is cold, my knees are weak too many memories to recall some are vague, but more are lost the rows of houses staring down a million windows all around I can only imagine what they've seen maybe their forgetful, just like me (chorus:) there's just so many ghosts in this town the things we've done, and maybe still do there's just so many ghosts in this town maybe I can be one, too I walk these sidewalks all alone the same ones that I've always known some are gone, and some have stayed they know what's written can't be changed with years and names they'll never know, like tiny scars left in the stone they pay no mind to where they've been, and I'm forgetful, just like them chorus there's just so many ghosts in this town the things we've seen, and maybe still see I'm just another ghost in this town please, pay no mind to me I'm just another ghost in this town, and that's all I want to be
11.
there's a million reasons floating in the air, so I just stand and stare at the grass stains on our jeans from summertime remember when we walked the field between the creek and hillside on the way home from school we cut off every corner, and were still late coming home because we never wanted to go friendships will be missed but the memory remains the sun may have set but I will never forget those days we'd catch minnows with our bare hands in the icy cold water running through a creek into the river the mighty susquehanna so grand and vast but it still felt like home we'd sit at the old bridge piers and watch the sun fall into the clouds into the hills over the river its reflection sinking deeper and deeper into the water the cold air rising and enveloping us catching us we'll call it ours because that's what we do we take this world, this town, and we make it ours we own these streets and we will until we die. (chorus: repeat till fade) we're at the end, but it's only the start the water's edge in the town where we've lived for so long chapter one was nothing more than a test we're setting sail into the water, and we'll hope for the best
