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
