"Laurel Canyon" lyrics

"Laurel Canyon"

I took a long drive to Laurel Canyon
And who's there but all the things I've tried to run from
I thought I left my mind down in the valley
But all my demons showed up, and I'm still the girl that I hate to be

Tired of running from myself
Full speed on a nowhere road
I think I finally realize
Time's just a crooked bone

I've flown a thousand miles to pray to the ocean
I couldn't change the tide, so I question my endless devotion
I keep on looking back at all the doors unopened
All the roads I've crossed, and all the words I left unspoken

I think I'm heading home

Tired of running from myself
Full speed on a nowhere road
I think I'm finally good enough
Time's just a crooked bone

Well, time passes by me, and finds me just as I am
I'm running as fast as I can
But the line always moves in the distance
I keep forgetting where I am
Where I am

Tired of running from myself
Full speed on a nowhere road
I think I finally realize
Time's just a crooked bone

Tired of running from myself
Full speed on a nowhere road
I know I'm finally good enough
Time's just a crooked bone
