Lyrics

Last Straws

[Verse]
I've spent so many years travelin' on my own
But this ol' country road seems to wanna take me home

[Verse]
I brake for old barns built and left for picture books
passed so many times... but still worth the second looks

[Verse]
There were broken windows and scattered dreams
Yeah... I need to accept the blame
I threw the rocks and then I lost my way
but now I'm back to try again...
one more chance... to fly again

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
So take my hand lets walk on in
through battered doors of wood and rust
unsettled on the floors and cracks in the walls
the last straws of my memories in the dust

[Bridge]
And I know it's still my home
but I'm afraid to go inside
Cause that ol' roof is a fragile cover
for the secrets... that it hides...
I'm not sure I wanna know what happens...
when secrets and memories collide...

[Short Instrumental]

[Verse]


One more mile up the road a farm comes into view
favorite trees and dogs had died right there where they grew
the house is barely standing and the fields are overgrown
a tougher path to love now than the ones that I was shown...
the love that we were shown...

[Chorus]
So take my hand lets walk on in
through battered doors of wood and rust
unsettled on the floors and cracks in the walls
the last straws of my memories in the dust

[Outro]
So take my hand lets walk on in
cause I know
I need to stop driving
Instead of coming and going
I need... to start arriving
