Walk with me down a lane called memory
Through a vein where all the blood has run its course
See the trees, feel that early summer breeze
At a farmer's market ripe with sweet remorse
And those Texas skies, just like your eyes
Melt me with their ever-widening clarity
I don't understand, this route's unplanned
While my steps I am retracing, still I'm stuck here in this place
And oh, why can't I find a road to take me home
Cause I'm lost in Austin, and I don't know what to do
Every court and avenue, they remind me more of you
But I'm lost in Austin, and I don't know how to leave
Cause the hardest part is plain for all to see
I don't think that Austin's lost in me
Take my hand, you can try to understand
Every lie I told myself is crystal clear
I'm not fine, are these memories even mine
Is the exit for my heart now drawing near
And it hurts so much that I can't touch
Every drop of rain that falls down from your face
And I'm broken down, far from the ground
While I'm sitting here in traffic, every sound devoid of magic
Won't you take me from this place and lead me home
Cause I'm lost in Austin, and I don't know what to do
Every court and avenue, they remind me more of you
But I'm lost in Austin, and I don't know how to leave
Cause the hardest part is plain for all to see
I don't think that Austin's lost in me
And I've only got myself to blame for navigating this terrain
Without a road map or a friend to call
But if the path was clear as day, could I even find a way
To leave the city that started it all
And as the sun washes the sky with morning light, I know
I'll be lost in Austin one more night
