From the recording Bouts With Bummers
Lyrics
Alone in the van
Not sure where I am
Woke up from a nap
I sat and thought of you
I chose this life
An eight hour drive
It won’t go away
Sacrifice for change
Take me away
Alone in the van
Not sure where I am
Woke up from a nap
I looked at pictures of you
I chose this life
An eight hour drive
It won’t go away
Sacrifice for change
Take me away
From where I am
Let’s go away to a place
We’ve never been
Take me away
From where I am
Let’s find a better way
To feel alive again
So I’ll sleep alone
Though we are together
The closer we grow
The distance becomes impossible
Nothing gets easier with time
I hope this picture helps
Let’s close this distance
Hunt happiness with all our friends
Let’s find a place where we could have it all
Against all odds we’ll grow old together
It’s wishful thought, to fail is default
We’ll show them all it can last forever
It’s all been done everybody struggles
Five hundred miles really is not all that bad
And if we try we won’t let it crumble
Into the past just like all the rest
I never thought it could be so hard to fall in love with someone I’m a mess
I never thought it could be so hard to fall in love with someone who’s the best
Time will only tell
We’ve got to want it to survive this mess
So I’ll just go back to sleep in the van
