Well I’ve never felt so low while being up so high
Something about the mountains that puts you closer to the sky
Always out of touch but so much more present in my mind
I thought that I could face the significance of change
While playing down the loss of ocean waves
But some things always ride you down no matter what the town
If it’s not home then I’m never gonna go
I’ve never been so sure that I’ve found my peace of mind
Til I move around and tell myself I’m fine
It seems we’re always raised with just one place to know
So maybe I should wait for things to find their place
I’m too busy counting my minutes away
But maybe that’s just living
Knowing that there’s no sitting still til you know where you wanna go
I know that everything you breathe will build you up
So you can be stronger til you hit the peak and take the fall
So maybe staying low for now just ain’t as bad as it sounds
If ever I was sure that such a valley had a cure
I’d do anything to make it go away
But all we have are questions that make the answers seem okay
We’re only building mountains just to compensate
And only in my dreams can I sit by the sea
While reaching both my hands towards the sky
The older that I get the less I seem to find my peace of mind
If I could just imagine the lights all running east
Denounce the things I learned when we were young
My knowledge would defy me but ignorance is key
When all we do is chase the setting sun
