Heavy Things - Sold lyrics

I'm fighting it I'm constantly grabbing for moments that slip Like sand between the fingers in my balled up fist I spent some days out on the coast this year And back in the midwest where it feels like home Everybody's stressed out by the incoming cold I keep my hands warm in my sweatshirt pocket But I can't stay for too long Cause I've been searching and what I'm finding I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I don't blame suburbia for the way I was brought up with decent opportunity I wasted my time scraping knees on the concrete, chasing what I thought I should be And when I was younger I was so naive taking for granted all the things that I need And tragedy meant nothing to me But I learned before long Cause when I leave home is when I feel it most I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I still have hope I'll learn to cope with things And fill my eyes with something better than this melancholy shade of blue The dark I feel each afternoon It lessens more each day I'm getting better with age and, I'm okay I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from who I want to be
