The Avett Brothers - Apart From Me lyrics

I was scared but I couldn't admit it
Hatred planted out of fear
Fight or flight no choice but to hit it
The road, it calls on me my dear

I was lost as lost can be
Being praised for being found
But all that praise got lost on me
As the mood swings headed down

Part from me
I would not dare take someone in
Love with me where I'm going
Apart you'll see how true it
Is and how back then
It possibly was impossible for you
Or me to know it

Your touch was nothing more
Than a child's goodbye and hello
But it always left me feeling
Worse when it was time to go

Part from me
I would not dare take someone in
Love with me where I'm going
Apart you'll see how true it
Is and how back then
It possibly was impossible for you
Or me to know it

And most of us out there got fooled
As the gold, it glittered in the night
We chased it fast like drunk buffoons
The banker lived, the artist died

And all our clothes were washed in grey
All our buildings and our cars
And the florescent lights of day
Bleached the sky into the stars

Part from me
I would not dare take someone in
Love with me where I'm going
Apart you'll see how true it
Is and how back then
It possibly was impossible for you
Or me to know it
