"Places To Go" lyrics

"Places To Go"

I've a picture of you
A Parisian street, early morning, late spring
I know what you were thinking

You were taking a break from life
You were traveling light
A pair of walking shoes and a sweater

You were where you were
When you pictured where you'd be
Anywhere but home

It's your last chance to change things
I know you've been getting by alright
Alright's okay for the day-to-days, but for the rest of your life?

An honest face like that
You can't take back too easily
An honest face like that
I just can't forget too easily

(God knows I'm trying)
