Midnight North - Roamin' Lyrics

We were wallowing in laughter
As the sunlight slowly slipped beneath the ocean
And I may not have known it yet
Though short of breath
You knew what was in motion
Yeah, we didn't see the moonrise
Or hear the spinning face of time a-spinning
We were too tangled with each other
Too content to be bothered by alarm bells ringing

So I'll go roamin', roamin'
Northbound on the interstate
My mind is on the open road
Too far away to turn back
But not close enough to care

There were hilltop proclamations
There were cartoons drawn along the boulevard
Yet we lay there in damnation
Forgetting what was waiting in the courtyard
And when you press the rose of memory
Between the heavy page of time and distance
Oh how easily we recollect
The moments of content and not resistance

I feel you by my side
Like a long and restless night
Present but invisible you play
On a long canyon ride
Don't you leave without a fight
The evidence lies softly in a haze

I was anchored by the ambience
Or whatever drew me in that night to stay
I fell hostage to the candlelight
The warmth that washed the color from my face
I was jaded by the journey
All my comforts felt so far away from home
But turning back at this point
Only keeps us on the path we walk alone

So I'll go roamin', roamin'
Northbound on the interstate
My mind is on the open road
Too far away to turn back
But not close enough to care
Too far away to turn back
But not close enough to care
Close enough to care
