lyrics
I'm coming to terms with the fact
that the way I spend these next few months
could determine the rest of my life
And all I wanna be is someone
that the kid in me would be proud of
And the sun's coming out
for the first time in a long time,
but I'm not ready to go outside yet
So I'll play Sticks and Stones
and I'll warm up my bones,
and I'll sit in my room,
and I'll write you these songs
Cause I've been trying so hard to move on,
but it's so hard to adjust,
pick up all of my old friends
and brush of the dust
that's been weighing me down
I've got these legs that can't stay still
and a heart that always wants to be
where I just can't be
But these empty sheets
and my restless feet are all that's left of me
(Nick)
The countless journeys I have made
and all the places I have stayed
means my hands have aged well beyond my years
I've got so used to being alone
and the sound of the dial tone,
that it sticks with me
like the ringing in my ears
that the way I spend these next few months
could determine the rest of my life
And all I wanna be is someone
that the kid in me would be proud of
And the sun's coming out
for the first time in a long time,
but I'm not ready to go outside yet
So I'll play Sticks and Stones
and I'll warm up my bones,
and I'll sit in my room,
and I'll write you these songs
Cause I've been trying so hard to move on,
but it's so hard to adjust,
pick up all of my old friends
and brush of the dust
that's been weighing me down
I've got these legs that can't stay still
and a heart that always wants to be
where I just can't be
But these empty sheets
and my restless feet are all that's left of me
(Nick)
The countless journeys I have made
and all the places I have stayed
means my hands have aged well beyond my years
I've got so used to being alone
and the sound of the dial tone,
that it sticks with me
like the ringing in my ears
