about

The cold, grey, unknown world of a breakup....

lyrics

Somewhere I’ve Never Been

Got my bags packed on the table
Cause I'll be gone for a while
And even though you're glad I'm going
I still can't leave here with a smile

I might head out to California
And I might write every now and then
There aint' no doubt that where I'm going
Is somewhere that I've never been

I hear it's cold up in Chicago
And the wind will surely ache my bones
But this coldness that I'm feeling
Is from being here alone

They've got the seas down in South Florida
And in New Orleans they have the sin
There ain't no doubt that where I'm going
Is somewhere that I've never been.

Somewhere where you don't hold me at night
And your fingers don't run through my hair
Where you're not the object of my sight
And love doesn't fill the air
Somewhere where things aren't like they used to be
Cause you're not here with me
And the leaves blow in the winds of change

I might head out to Albuquerque
And learn to ride in the west
Think of your hair down on your shoulder
Under a dying sunset

The lightning will surely crash down
And the rain will surely fall
There ain't no doubt that where I'm going
No I don't belong at all

Somewhere where you don't hold me at night
And your fingers don't run through my hair
Where you're not the object of my sight
And love doesn't fill the air
Somewhere where things aren't like they used to be
Cause you're not here with me
And the leaves blow in the winds of change
