I've got a life out there somewhere
It's waiting
Lined with palm trees and only new faces
If I could look past the present and get there
Well baby, it's worth the shot

Just enough time to plan an escape route
I put my map on the wall in the basement
Not quite a victory [bad word] from your problems
But it's the only plan that I got
It's the only plan that I got

And if you try to find me now
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
That's what's going on
That's what's going on

Crossed the state line and called out a warning
Not too long now, I'll breathe California
Paid my dues and I tried to be loyal
But now I'm done with all that
Where I'm going is everyone's story
We want you left,
We're left to start over
It's not a question of who are we really
It's who we want to be

And if you try to find me now
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on

All that's in between
brand new life and I is time
But time has not been kind.
It's not been kind to me.
It's winding backwards.
Time has not been kind.
It's crawling by so slowly

And if you try to find me now
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on

And if you try to find me now
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on
