lyrics

The pressure’s great, but I don’t hate the journey
Come darling say good luck to me, I’m in no hurry
I won’t last long atop this gurney
The call of distant lands, before I turn thirty

For years I followed the same time-worn patterns
Blame it on the vice, here comes Saturn
My problem isn’t nice, sorry if I’m scattered
But this is what’s what, when your ego’s in tatters

As summer extends, and old friends make amends
And no one pretends anymore

I am just like Odysseus, traveling from one place to another

Girl let’s play dress up like our fathers and mothers
And talk endlessly of our prideful disdain for the others
Let’s grab a beer and I’m down for hours
But can we stay on topic long enough before the topic sours?

The sirens creep in my bed asleep
And all in all, it’s nothing but locked doors, except for this one

I am just like Odysseus, traveling from one place to another
Oh, will I get home?

Strong words, strong words from such a weak heart
They echo across the months, right back to the start
At altitude, there’s nothing we can do
It’s rough and beautiful belonging to you

I’m leaving at dawn, you won’t stop thinking I’m wrong
But darling, don’t give up on us yet, cuz

I am just like Odysseus, traveling from one place to another
Oh, will I get home?
