Checking Out

City life is not quite like it used to be
Seven years have come and gone
The walls are closing in on me

Afraid to fall away in anonymity
Do I wanna lay an anchor oceanside?
Or drift about the open sea?

The years that I've put down
Opening doors, running around
How many years have I put down?
About time to be checking out

The years that I've put down
Opening doors, running around
I feel it coming now
On the horizon

Find me
Far away from here
Run free
Fly away with me

Sometimes I feel like everybody's out for me
Try to navigate through all the cars and lights
And grin through all the vanity

A complicated hive
Of faded industry
Do I wanna stick it out and waste my time?
And fade into infinity?

The years that I've put down
Opening doors, running around
How many years have I put down?
About time to be checking out

The years that I've put down
How many more
Are coming around?
I wanna feel the sunlight now
On the horizon

Find me
Far away from here
Run free
Fly away with me

Find me
Far away from here
Run free
Fly away with me

In the evening light
As the day subsides
I lie awake in bed
And wonder if
I'll make it out alive

In Pacific time,
Would I lose my mind?
I wonder what I'm gonna take away
And what I'm gonna find

I'm running around, around, around, around again
I'm running around, around, around, around, around, around again
I'm running around, around, around, around again
I'm running around, around, around, around again
