I sometimes lose my faith in luck,

I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up,

I just count the rain

wearing the floor through the boards again.

I wish I could find a soul to steal,

I could be the engine, you could be the wheel,

and when we’re driving home,

and never have to worry about being alone.

Uh uh, I’ll follow my tracks,

see all the times I should have turned back.

Uh uh, I wept alone,

I know what it means to be on my own.

Uh uh, the things I’ve known,

looks like I’m taking the hard way home.

Uh uh, the seeds I’ve sown,

taking the hard way home,

taking the hard way home.

I never did learn how to follow the rules,

I never was good at sleeping

while the moon was full,

I just lie and burn,

wreck my mind while the planet turns.

I sometimes wish I could start again,

I’d try and do the right things every now and then,

I’d step in line,

that’s what I would do if I could turn back time.

Uh uh, I’ll follow my tracks,

see all the times I should have turned back.

Uh uh, I wept alone,

I know what it means to be on my own.

Uh uh, the things I’ve known,

looks like I’m taking the hard way home.

Uh uh, the seeds I’ve sown,

taking the hard way home,

taking the hard way home.

I’ll tell you how I want to live,

forget about the take, forget about the give,

I want to leave this town,

fake my death and never be found.

Uh uh, I’ll follow my tracks,

see all the times I should have turned back.

Uh uh, I wept alone,

I know what it means to be on my own.

Uh uh, the things I’ve known,

looks like I’m taking the hard way home.

Uh uh, the seeds I’ve sown,

taking the hard way home,

taking the hard way home.

I sometimes lose my faith in luck,

I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up,

I just count the rain

wearing the floor through the boards again.

I wish I could find a soul to steal,

I could be the engine, you could be the wheel,

and when we’re driving home,

and never have to worry about being alone.

Uh uh, the things I’ve known,

looks like I’m taking the hard way home.

Uh uh, the seeds I’ve sown,

taking the hard way home,

taking the hard way home.
