Checking Out

[Verse 1] City life is not quite like it used to be Seven years have come and gone The walls are closing in on me Afraid to fall away in anonymity Do I wanna lay an anchor oceanside? Or drift about the open sea? [Pre-Chorus] The years that I’ve put down Opening doors, running around How many years have I put down? About time to be checking out The years that I’ve put down Opening doors, running around I feel it coming now On the horizon [Chorus] Find me Far away from here Run free Fly away with me [Verse 2] Sometimes I feel like everybody’s out for me Try to navigate through all the cars and lights And grin through all the vanity A complicated hive of faded industry Do I wanna stick it out and waste my time? And fade into infinity? [Pre-Chorus] The years that I’ve put down Opening doors, running around How many years have I put down? About time to be checking out The years that I’ve put down How many more are coming around? I wanna feel the sunlight now On the horizon [Chorus] Find me Far away from here Run free Fly away with me Find me Far away from here Run free Fly away with me [Bridge] In the evening light As the day subsides I lie awake in bed And wonder if I’ll make it out alive In Pacific time Would I lose my mind? I wonder what I’m gonna take away And what I’m gonna find I’m running around, around, around, around again
