I had to leave home for home
Packed my car up gave my key to neighbors
Hope they keep my plants alive
Then I drove four states East
And every car along the ride was also on their own odyssey
Florida to Tampa
Oregon to bend
These license plates like name tags in reverse migration
Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon
I dunno what’s comin do you any of you?
But last night I think I met my mom
And this afternoon I met my sister
And this morning, I finally met my dad
While he was outside just picking up dogshit
Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
I'm having to reinvent
The way I measure time now
'Cause "days and hours" feel like a past life
Tryna learn new manners
Like how to greet a stranger on the street
With nothing but your eyes, oh
Texas to Houston
New York to The City
I know you’re getting slammed but you'll walk again
Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon
I dunno what’s coming I just wanna hold you soon
But last night I met the Milky Way
As it was shivering outside of my window
And this morning I finally met the birds
'Cause there's nothing else to do but watch them
Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
A few months ago
I thought the world was ending it was
Burning all the work we'd just begun
But then through mornings without traffic
Through horizons without smog
I could see that wasn't fire, no
That was just the dawn
