When I graduate from college
I'll move out to where leaves fall
And I can see the ocean from my door
Maybe by then I'll be making money
And with every waking breath
Won't worry about needing more
If I ever find the time to settle down
Propose and write my vows
I'll have a wedding close to home
I'll fly in to see the family
Visit my old friends in fancy restaurants
I couldn't afford before
Am I asking for too much if I want comfort in the day to day scene?
I've been down roads that have no exit
Paved my own 'til all that's left is
Something where the nothing used to be
Collecting bottles from a night of drinking
All the while I was thinking
They ain't seen the best of me
Couple dozen years from now
As we move to our seventh house
I'll take in what we have and what we earned
The kids are now in college, too
Like I was just before I moved
To figure out my purpose in the world
Will I understand the feeling that my parents felt when they saw me leave?
I've been down roads that have no exit
Paved my own 'til all that's left is
Something where the nothing used to be
Collecting bottles from a night of drinking
All the while I was thinking
They ain't seen the best of me
How can I get there?
I've decided I'm allowed to not know quite yet
I've been down roads that have no exit
Paved my own 'til all that's left is
Something where the nothing used to be
Collecting bottles from a night of drinking
All the while I was thinking
They ain't seen the best of me
They ain't seen
They ain't seen what I'll see
