I woke up one day with my spirit drained
And the fog became the mood that we both knew
Isn't exactly how I wanted to leave
Everything was scattered in pieces
They watched through their windows and made me feel crazy
But I wasn't done yet
I had to get my life together on my own time
And now the long drive out of the dark will carry me on

From the coast of Carolina
In my bones, I feel it grow
I see sky and open road
'Cause sometimes I just need a release
To get myself back up
I feel that it is something to leave
And I'm not coming home

I used to think that I'd die young
I'll live forever
And watch the world in my way
I put way too much in this place to go
And meanwhile, all my friends are still in London
We talk sometimes, it's like nothing's ever changed
They just relate to my sanity
They just relate to my sanity

So I lift my head
The future is the garden of the mind
Here I am trying to make things right
With everything I am and everything I was
It's a side that I'm open to
Waking up again

From the coast of Carolina
In my bones I feel it grow old
I see sky and open road
And sometimes I just need a release
To get myself back up
I feel that it is something to leave
And I'm not coming home

I used to think that I'd die young
I'd live forever
And watch the world in my way
I put way too much in this place to go
And meanwhile all my friends are still in London
We talk sometimes, it's like nothing's ever changed
They just relate to my sanity
They just relate to my sanity

They just relate to my sanity
