Lyrics
Pen, try to write me
following in the footsteps of my idols
Word, try to match me
explain away the hollow of the final line.
It's a foreign land
Nothing like it have I seen
Can I find a way, to rewrite this day
It's a foreign land
Take a ride into the night
Can I find a way, to describe this day
Door, open inward
give insight to the poet who has dried
Step, off the curb backwards
reverse the habits learned that mud the mind
It's a foreign land
Nothing like it have I seen
Can I find a way, to rewrite this day
It's a foreign land
Take a ride into the night
Can I find a way, to describe this day
Hold, the summer's spent
You should have come for me
Hold, my time is spent
You should have come for me
You should have come for me
Later is not for me
Ink, drawn to paper
create a lasting moment in time
Write, with the notion
that they will understand the final line
It's a foreign land
Nothing like it have I seen
Can I find a way, to rewrite this day
It's a foreign land,
Take a ride into the night
Can I find a way, to describe this day
You, can't take it back
The ripple is in the wave
Set, on it's own track
The ripple is in the wave
You should have come for me
You should have come for me
Later is not for me
