hearts and pioneers

INTRO
i was good to go, i was ready to leave
there was nothing that could bring me to my knees
and keep me here
but i ate those words my dear
when you swept me off my feet

VERSE 1
so much has changed so quickly
they've gone from trees to buildings
and unlike you
its not comforting nor thrilling
this is town has become a city
its gone from a stick to a trigger
i hate how much its grown
but with you i want something bigger

CHORUS
stay here and i'll stay too
either that or whisk me away with you
you hold me here
more than i'd want
but you're the wind
pinning me to this wall

VERSE 2
a dream of mine has always been
to run away and never tell
where i was going and where i'd end
this life was easy to sell

CHORUS
but stay here and i'll stay too
either that or whisk me away with you
you hold me here
more than i'd want
but you're the wind
pinning me to this wall
and i'm the ear against your chest
we are hearts and pioneers
with that i am blessed

BRIDGE
even with an open road
to take me where ever i want
without you i have nothing left
empty hearts will haunt
[x2]

OUTRO
even with an open road (and this is)
to take me where ever i want (what i've been waiting for)
without you i have nothing left (this i have)
empty hearts will haunt (never done before)
[x2]

i was good to go, i was ready to leave (and this is)
there was nothing that could bring me to my knees (what i've been waiting for)
and keep me here (this i have)
but i ate those words my dear (never done before)

i was good to go, i was ready to leave
there was nothing that could bring me to my knees
and keep me here
but i ate those words my dear
when you swept me off my feet



Author notes

it's basically about how my home town has grown so big and over populated and i want to get to some place quieter but even if i had a chance there is someone keeping me here.

    i especially like the last two lines. :]
    i defenitley agree with what you're saying.
    and for some reason, this reminds me of "The Alamo Is No Place For Dancing" by the Scene Aesthetic.
    best of luck. :]

    I loved the chorus and the bridge. You're amazing Megg.
