lyrics

You've gone west, young man
cause the east can't expand
and the south's caught in the past
and the north is falling fast

You know what you've become?
you are what you're running from
and she's running the other way
she keeps the wolves at bay

the heart knows how to bend
each break it suspends
but for now you're just friends from out of state

Girl, look what you've taken on
all the lines that you've drawn
can't hope to hold their shape
against this landscape

You know what you've become?
you are what you're running from
and he's running the other way
faster every day

the heart knows how to bend
each break it suspends
but for now you're just friends from out of state

If prayers could intermix
if their words could transfix
This space between the coasts
might mark your first approach

You know what you've become?
you're what you're running from
and you're running the other way
don't waste another day

the heart knows how to bend
each break it suspends
but for now you're just friends from out of state
