Getting There Lyrics by Chris Miller (Composer), Nathan Tysen, Gavin Creel

Fugitive Songs: A Song Cycle (Studio Cast Recording)

2012

Spent the bad part of my twenties
In a photo shop in Utah
Killing time
Cutting glossy 3x5’s
Providing photo evidence
Of other people’s lives
Spent the last ounce of my patience
Putting other lives in focus
Going mad
Customers keep coming in
Reminding me of places that
I have never been
Someone at Mount Rushmore
Someone seeing Delaware
Look they climbed the Catskills
And I’m not going anywhere
I watch their dreams develop
And pass out in my armchair
But slowly and surely
I’m getting there
Spent the last three nights at Denny’s
With a million cups of coffee
Making plans
Called my boss up on the phone
Gonna take a little time
Taking pictures of my own
Slingshot to the highway
For some snapshots on the road
Redefine a life with no
Area or zip code
Gonna put my life in focus
Got a good three years to spare
Slowly but surely
I’m getting there
Load the film
Stretch the time
Lose the map
And disappear
Keep on capturing
Load the film
Try to find
The longest route
From there to here
Keep on capturing
Keep on traveling
Keep on traveling
In the next part of my twenties
Gonna put my life in focus
On the road
Set the course to anywhere
Get me out of Utah
Put me in the picture
As long as I’m in motion
I’m getting there
I’m getting there
I’m getting there
