My Side of the Mountain

I've seen the best and worst of men
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
But I can't comprehend where to go
How much I wanna know?
It all ends up the same way, anyhow

Never been a selfish man
But I don't have much heart left, so I'm saving what I can
You say, "Don't run," easier than done
Courage comes for free when you're young

And I don't wanna have to wait forever
Yeah, this dog's too old for stormy weather
Carve a little life out, call it my side of the mountain
Live out these days we're counting, gone forever

Find some place to disappear
I think I found myself, now I can't picture myself here
Or anywhere, but I'm getting there
Holding on can get you stuck, I fear

I don't wanna have to wait forever
Yeah, this dog's too old for stormy weather
Carve a little life out, call it my side of the mountain
Live out these days we're counting, gone forever

And should I ever cross your mind
Don't shed a tear, just wave my way and know, I'm doing fine
And I'll be waving back from my side of the mountain
Hoping what you've been fighting's worth forever
