Somewhere other than here

from A View That Won't Change by Andrew V Phillips

/

lyrics

If you lived here you’d be home already
Wouldn’t need to reach out anymore
it’s alright right to hold on
but I wish to be empty

after many years in one place
what has changed?
What can I carry?
Walked every mile kicking up dust
Only patience knows

Wanders back and forth
Never to be still
One breath and I’m gone
Settled like dust
Wonderfully restless

If you lived here you’d be home already
Won’t need to reach out to anyone
It’s alright, you never wanted anything
Should’ve just held my breath

If you felt safe to be by my side
And were moved just enough to keep yourself alive
To reach out was all I could do
To try to be empty for you

Many times not just this time
I feel a chance to make a break
To move far away, never be afraid
It always seems that life’s about to start
Until then I need to find something to keep you off my mind
