Lyrics
Want to get it all behind me
Desire to leave everything in the past
You know everything reminds me
Constant reminders of something/someone
I can't be myself without you
Feeling incomplete without a certain person
Want to crawl down deep inside
Metaphorically wanting to hide
The springs inside the mattress
Specifically seeking a private place
Where I cry my dirty secrets
Where personal emotions are expressed
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
Struggling with a persistent emotion
That I'm nothing in your eyes
Feeling insignificant in someone's perception
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
Regret for not anticipating heartache
I would've set out running
Wishing to escape before pain arrives
Past the city houses
Passing through urban landscapes
And the ditches on the highway
Passing through less scenic areas
Weave between the seasons
Navigation through changing times
Under bridges in the valley
Seeking solace in different places
'Til the winds out on the prarie
Enduring emotional turmoil
Whipped the tears from my eyes
Wiping away tears caused by distress
Want to get it all behind me
Yearning to move on from the past
You know everything reminds me
Continual triggers of memories
I can't be myself without you
Dependency on another for self-identity
Want to crawl down deep inside
Symbolic desire to retreat inwardly
The springs inside the mattress
A private space for emotional release
Where I cry my dirty secrets
Where innermost feelings are expressed
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
Struggling with a persistent emotion
That I'm nothing in your eyes
Feeling unimportant in someone's perspective
Well if I knew heartbreak was coming
Regret for not foreseeing heartache
I would've set out running
Wishing to escape prior to pain's arrival
Across the muddy river
Going beyond familiar boundaries
And the smokestacks on the bank
Passing through industrial landscapes
Swallow that horizon
Swallowing or surpassing difficulties
Hunger beyond hunger
Experiencing extreme longing
'Til the cloudy blue Pacific
Continuing the journey until reaching the sea
Took the air in my lungs
Being refreshed by the vastness of the ocean
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
Regret for not anticipating heartache
I would've set out running
Desire to escape before experiencing pain
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
Struggling with a persistent emotion
That I'm nothing in your eyes
Feeling insignificant in someone's perception
