SPENT 12 BUCKS ON A CHINATOWN BUS,
HEADING INTO NEW YORK CITY,
MY PLANS HAD NO PLANS IT WAS JUST HOW I LIKE THEM.
LATELY LIFE’S THROWN EVERYTHING AT ME,
I’M STILL TALLYING UP THE COST,
OF HOW MUCH DAMAGE A HEART CAN CAUSE.
ITS SO HARD TO BE HOPEFUL,
I’M A TOTAL WRECK ON THE INSIDE,
IT’S SO HARD TO BE HOPEFUL BUT I PROMISED YOU I’D TRY.
TO ALWAYS SEE THE BIG PICTURE,
TO FIND FAITH IN THE FUTURE,
TO KEEP ON RUNNING IN THE ROAR OF THE WIND.
TO KEEP ON RUNNING IN THE ROAR OF THE WIND.

WASHINGTON SQUARE I WAS HYPER AWARE,
OF MY PAST AND PRESENT SELF,
REMEMBERING HOW GOOD EVERYTHING ONCE FELT.
I HAD A SMILE, YOU USED TO NOTICE,
I HAD A LAUGH THAT YOU USED TO LOVE,
NOTHING COULD EVER COME BETWEEN US.

I’M READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT TO HAPPEN,
I’M READY FOR ANYTHING AT ALL,
I’M READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT TO HAPPEN,
TO KEEP ON RUNNING IN THE ROAR OF THE WIND.
