lyrics

PACK IT UP

the morning whistles like a train
it's back to earth and out again
sometimes it's all i've got
just play the role and not
meander in the wind and pray for rain

there's something deep below my skin
pestering my soul to take a spin

i'm thinkin' 'bout the time between
the last go around and where we've been
this chain is stronger still
every link another thrill
bygone moments in a pile, it's all been seen

there's something deep below my skin
pestering my soul to take a spin
to blaze a trail and get back in
to the wind

time's no longer on my side
these lines grow darker all the time
pack it up and let us keep on down the line

of all the times to shout and curse
i'm choosing now, it could be worse
so hold on for it all
and don't go crashing into walls
every single moment is a first

there's something deep below my skin
pestering my soul to take a spin
to blaze a trail and get back in
to the wind

time's no longer on my side
these lines grow darker all the time
pack it up and let us keep on down the line

maybe now i'll stop and breathe
but every moment i'll believe
that my day will surely come
so might as well pick up and run
into the shelter of this storm and never leave

there something deep below my skin
pestering my soul to take a spin
to blaze a trail and get back in
to the wind

time's no longer on my side
these lines grow darker all the time
we're running out of places left to hide
and we're tangled in the space between the vines
so pack it up and let us keep on down the line
