"Pilgrim's Highway" lyrics

"Pilgrim's Highway"

Who can see the road
When all it says is snow?
I left home in record time
To find a few worse ways to live a life
You and your gold egg
Stuck in my hard head
That rain came and I let it fall
Happy for no reason at all

We never win, we never lose
All night long like we used to
You said find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Or let go

I don't like the cold
You won't sleep alone
Blame the booze or the boarding school
No one's this intentionally cruel
For what it's worth
You said stepping off the curb
Boys like you die in the light
Of the pilgrims highway every night

It's not a lie but it's not the truth
If either one would help you choose
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Or let go

Some days all you've got
Is being someone that you're not
Kindness likes to cut us slack
But some puzzle pieces don't go back
This is all I know
And all it says is snow
Another dose of hope and doubt
Tumbling from the horse's mouth
It's no surprise, it's no excuse
Anyway, if you need to

You said find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Or let go
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Find me forever
Or let go
