I sometimes lose my faith in luck. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
I just count the rain, Wearing the floor through the boards again.
I wish I could find a soul to steal. I could be the engine, you could be the wheel.
And when you're driving home, I never have to worry about being alone.
chorus
Oooh, I follow my tracks, See all the times I should have turned back.
Oooh, I wept alone, I know what it means to be on my own.
Oooh, the things I've known, Looks like I'm taking the hard way home.
Oooh, the seeds I've sown, Taking the hard way home.
Taking the hard way home.
I never did learn how to follow the rules. I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full.
I just lie and burn. Wreck my mind while the planets turn.
I sometimes wish I could start again. I'd try and do the right thing every now and then.
I'd step in line. That's what I'd do if I could turn back time.
Oooh
Oooh
I'll tell you how I want to live. Forget about the take, Forget about the give.
I want to leave this town, Fake my death and never be found.
