The day I turned thirty-three
My oldest didn't call
Middle's out of state
And the youngest lives here with me
It's not just a town
It's a final resting place
When I die for choices I refuse to make

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones
I'm a long way from home
Only so many days, we can own
I'm a long way from home

May the places our hearts first broke
All burn down
What was lost
Rise up from the ground
Now I hold you close together
Shadow holds the wall, the child holds a doll
The way you catch me when I fall

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones
I'm a long way from home
So many days, we can own
I'm a long way from home

It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones
I'm a long way from home
And it's so many days, we can own
I'm a long way from home
It takes eight minutes for the sun to hit your bones
I'm a long way from home
Only so many days, we can own
I'm a long way from home
