Byways Lyrics by Matthew Chaim

The Mathematics Of Nature

2019

[Verse 1]
Left my love in New York City
Hit the byways and I won't come back again
No, I won’t come back again
We know nothing, nothing stable
That's a problem
When we wanna to see the end
Yeah, we wanna to see the end

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna see the world and travel really slowly
I wanna feel, I've gotta feel it
I wanna peel away the layers that make us lonely
But usually we just

[Chorus]
Stay home, never stray away
Unknowns, we don’t want to meet them
I'm grown, I don't wanna wait
The love that I need is getting between us

[Verse 2]
Left my fear back in South Dakota
That don't mean it's over
I wanna get older and bigger and better and stronger and faster
And leave behind all the things that don't matter
And cut through the chatter make people feel better
At least way less sadder than they are and

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna see the world and travel really slowly
I wanna feel, I've gotta feel it
I wanna peel away the layers that make us lonely
But usually we just

[Chorus]
Stay home, never stray away
Unknowns, we don't want to meet them
I’m grown, I don’t wanna wait
The love that I need is getting between us

[Outro]
Want to be everything
Want to be everything
Except for the very thing
We just so happen to be
Want to be everything
Want to be everything
Except for the very thing
We just so happen to be
