The Wild Lyrics by Tonight We Fight

Where You’ve Been

2016

I'm here at a truckstop states away from home
I wonder if you miss me, if you know I'm even gone
You know I'm just like you
You've got your ways I caught on
The air we're used to breathing feels too thick after too long
Then we're gone
We're running from what holds us down
And you'd hoped that I'd turn out so much better than I did
But I can't help it
I'm a canvas, you're an artist
You painted your own image on me
To see how it would look
Preserved in more than just my memories
In more than just my memories

We're both runners but you're faster
You've got your own life anyway
But I still bothered just to call you from a parking lot in Salt Lake
I know you didn't answer but I'd probably do the same
The thing with perfect matches is there's too much of one thing
There's too much of one thing

So I'll go the way you told me to
You never let me slow you down, so I'll just forget too
Everywhere that we've been and everywhere that we might go
I shouldn't bother with the effort now cause I already know
That some birds just leave for winter
And some never come back home
Some just leave for winter and some never come back

We're both runners but you're faster
You've got your own life anyway
But I still bothered just to call you from a parking lot in Salt Lake
I know you didn't answer but I'd probably do the same
The thing with perfect matches is there's too much of one thing
There's too much of one thing

Won't make the mistake like I did before
Won't leave anything in an unlocked door
Won't fix what's broken, what broke for a reason
I can't hold the weight anymore

We're running but you're still so far away
Staying in fair weather just in case
