Cant believe Im leaving
All these years I’ve spent becomes a little farther, moving
No, I cant stop time
It slips from this good grip of mine

Crossroads, Oh crossroad ahead
I hope to meet you there again, a friend
Im so torn, this cut’s too deep
Cant bear a glimpse of it

You know, I don’t wanna leave
But what’s ahead drags me quick
Cant contain my deepest doubts and fears
How I wish you’d be there when I’d weep

Wastes millions of seconds staring blankly ahead,
Humorless, lifeless but nothing’s worth the wait
Now Im turning my head back
Wanna see and all that I couldn’t bring in my backpack

Not yet ready to face the world
Oh, No, not yet, not now a warrior enduring a gravely wound
No, not now, just not yet
Not yet ‘till the last laughter I’ve spent

Cant I just stay?
No, the world keeps my worries at bay
How I wish I could keep your laugh underneath my pillow
Comfort me, bring me home as I sail deep, deep,  just below

Much more uncertain than ever,
Now Im blinded by the shallow waters
Cant find my compass’ bearing
Don’t know what Im searching

All I wanna do is stare at my rearview mirror
Hoping against hope, on the way I’d find shelter
Too lost I am
Too confused, too shattered too bewildered to claim.
