songs: I Belong Somewhere Else

I wrote this song early in 2011, and intended to include it on the Night Owl EP. However, I never completed a recording of it.

Do you have a wounded mind?
Have you fallen off the path of time?
Do you ever sit at night
And though you can't say why
You only feel like crying?

And everyone around you hurts
To see that you've been down to your worst?
They know that you've been drowning but
They don't see any water

I am afraid to face my memories
I am alone in what I know
And all the faces that inspired me
Have taken somber tones
They're growing old

[c]
I belong somewhere else
And I believe that I'll be leaving someday
But I don't know how
And I don't mean this town or house
No it's doubt that I'm talking about
'Cause I've been standing around
For far too long, now

They say you only love once you've lost
But I don't think I trust all that talk
The times that mattered most
Were always obvious to me

So I will let my heart feel the breeze
And should the weather shift I'll just let it freeze
'Cause I know that there isn't any
Given remedy

Oh, I've got awful dispositions and
I am as lonely as I am light
But I don't need no one to tie me down
I will just float away into the night

[c]

Now, it's time to sing it and sing it well
All of the horrible sounds I felt
When I fell
Before I chewed me up
And I spit me out
I held
Myself through all the pain
Still, I wanted meaning
And it just fell away
It fell away

[c]
