"West Of Somewhere" lyrics

Revved on gleeful motion
You could walk up and down this town
The past ain't in between it
The future doesn't mean a god damn thing

So what you whistling lately
I bet it's a song that the birds sing
I guess it's what you're bringing to this life you're livin'
That's what will remain

Sweetly open up the shades and let the window down
And twirl around
You should do that little dance

And if you get that notion
That things are not the way that they should be
Share your thoughts with someone
Tell 'em that you love 'em and the joy they bring
Cause the water's moving swiftly
And the river tells no lies
Material growth and what you've known
Will float away down stream

I've been thinking in the way how everything moves
And the interstate highways, the push and the pull
The web out my doorway, the ants gather food
And the plate by my bedside, and the glass that's half full

And the talking of planets, the end of the start
Our limited visions that keep us apart
The line on the ceiling, the grain in the sand
The love that we're meaning, and the loss of our land

Did I leave my oven on
Did I check my email yet
Did do my laundry, make my grades or have I paid my rent
Where am I supposed to be
Is there something I forget
But there's not, I fear, looking back in the mirror

You move full steam to a forty hour week
Did I give myself a sentiment or did I wash my sheets
Did I grocery shop or was it hard for me to just breathe
Can I get back to my roots, oh no
It's time for me to brush my teeth
