Lyrics:

This town makes my mind slow down
I've got lines on my face like highways now
I'm chasing breezes kicking boulders
And all of the while just getting older
I leave pieces of paper
Pieces of myself along the way
Out the window
Out the window
I tell myself that
I'll come back for them before I go
Then I won't sing this song tomorrow
 
Reason calls I'm never listening
There's always something more distracting
And you take everything so seriously
Then you leave and burn up on re-entry
 
The happy endings
All these little victories
Gather up and hung on the wall
Like trophies
I tell myself that
I've been down this road before
So I won't sing this song anymore (anymore)
Anymore (anymore)
Anymore (anymore)
 
Yeah-heh
ooh...
 
Said I've been down this road before
So I won't sing this song anymore (anymore)
Anymore (anymore)
Said I've been down on myself enough before
So I won't sing this song anymore
ooh...
