This is the story of a girl who
Picked apart her small-town childhood
Surrounded by mountains and solitude
To settle in a summer-city on a lake
To make her family happy

But before I tell you
You need to know
That she didn't do it
For herself at all

Before I tell you
You need to know
Her roots in those mountains?
They weren't very deep

Before I can tell you this story
You absolutely must know
That she never felt at home in her hometown
Or familiar with her family's friends

She's always been a loner
It's been easy for her to leave
Again and again and again
For her family's sake

And she hasn't gotten attached enough
To the people in this new place
That she wouldn't uproot again
If she was asked to
