Mother Lyrics by Travis

Where You Stand

2013

Mother take that ride
You got in my mind
Tell 'em what you found
Write it down

What you have is enough
What you want with so much stuff
What you need is a hug
From a passenger you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
One you love

Write a book
Change your name
Run a thousand miles away
Bite the hook
Change your game
In the end it's all the same
Happy ever after
Dancing with disaster
Hold me close and listen to the song
Why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?

Once upon a cold and starless night
Saw a vision or a trick of light
We know there's nothing wrong
Days are short, nights are long
Answer me this question then I'm gone
Oh, why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?

Oh, why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?
Oh, why did we wait so long?
