Silence! Maybe no... ;-)

Heart – beat a little bit slower this time
Take it all in and leave it behind.
Where he still dwells in a little brick house.
Right where I left him. Well, where else?

Back on that bright winding road
I still feel the breeze. Hear that sweet echo?
We owned those trails. We owned the sea.
There was nothing left to lose, except you and me.

So next time you hear a runaway train.
Don’t just stand and call my name.
 I can't "save yourself" from everything.
 I am no longer the one to blame.

I dwell in the city where the towers once stood.
Doing exactly what I said I would.
But that should come as no surprise.
When have I ever compromised?

The cannons and the rifles and the bombs all blow
Trying to sleep through each echo.
War all around and sleep to be had.
‘Trade a military base for a dangling chad.

Back on that bright winding road
I still feel the breeze. Hear that sweet echo?
We owned those trails. We owned the sea.
There was nothing left to lose, except you and me.

Round and round and round she goes.
Can she be stopped? Only God knows.
There are days to be lived and love to be had.
 She still travels this world, bucket list in hand.
