Brandi Carlile - Hard Way Home lyrics

I sometimes lose my faith in luck
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I just count the rain
Wearing the floor through the boards again
I wish I could find a soul to steal
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
And we could drive it home
Never have to worry about being alone

Oooh, I follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Oooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Oooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

I never did learn how to follow the rules
I never was good at sleeping
While the moon was full i just lie and burn
Wreck my mind while the planet turns
Sometimes wish I could start again
I'd try and do the right
Thing every now and then i'd step in line
That's what I'd do, if I could turn back time

Oooh, I follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Oooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Oooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

I'll tell you how I wanna live
Forget about the take, forget about the give
I wanna leave this town
Fake my death and never be found

Oooh, I follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Oooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Oooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

Sometimes I lose my faith in luck
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I just count the rain
Wearing the floor to the boards again
I wish I could find a soul to steal
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
We could drive it home
And never have to worry about being alone

Oooh, the things I have known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
