"Somewhere Better"

Lyrics

A one way ticket in a dresser drawer
Says you ain't lookin' back no more
The past will pass as it has before
You're leavin' that baggage at the door

When you find yourself in the pourin’ rain
Still runnin’ like hell to catch that train
Knowin’ if you turn back, nothin’d ever change…
About what you’re runnin’ from

(Chorus)

So don’t look back now…
You’ve seen what there was to see…
Now that you’ve let the caged bird out…
(Break)
You’ve got somewhere better to be.

(Verse 2 - cello then piano emerge)

So you’re all aboard, and full steam ahead
Because if you turn around, you’d be better off dead
You’d keep runnin’ off the tracks if you hadn’t left
For what you’re runnin’ towards…

(Chorus, Grows with Instrumentation)

So don’t look back now…
You’ve seen what there was to see…
Now that you’ve let the caged bird out…
(Break)
You’ve got somewhere better to be.

(Final Verse / Outro - single fingerpicked guitar Brings It to a Close)

When you find a place to rest your bones
And the windin’ road finally leads you home
When you look back at how far you’ve come
And your days of runnin’ are finally done…
There’s nothin’ you’re runnin’ from
Yeah there's nothin' your're runnin' from…
