Movies About Animals - American Graffiti Lyrics

There's a cool Midwestern breeze blowing through this town
And I've watched it grow for twenty-some odd years now
It's coming to carry me, to finally set my mind free
But honestly, you don't have to come along this time
You see, for too long now I haven't held my end
I've been sitting around this room waiting for something to begin
It's burning up inside
I'm ready to let it out alive before it dies

Well I'll be searching for the signs of everything I left behind
But I'll keep myself on fire just to keep it all in sight
Because that's just who I am
I found common ground where I learned to stand
And I'm headed for the door
So if you're hopeful, take my hand

This train is moving on
I said it once before, but that was before the line was drawn
I stumbled blindly to my knees
I crossed it before I could see but you were my spine
You helped me speak
Now there's a building burning down
And there's a war they're fighting underground
And you're stuck somewhere between it trying not to make a sound
This could be our last chance to see it
And then I'm giving up on ghosts
The things that keep you up are not the things that haunt you the most

Well then we woke up on the floor of an apartment
In the city where the city that never sleeps goes to sleep at night
You were next to me, I was on my own
That's the first time I ever felt at home
And that Sunday morning song was on
And we waited until the rain moved on
And then we moved on
And I learned that's just how it goes

It's a calling summer day
It's a thousand miles of highway
And at the end I'm certain you'll find that I've been led astray
But don't you worry baby, no, I'll be fine
I'm standing on my own this time
And don't you think for one second
I'd forget this place I swore I'd never leave
Or the people that I see
It will always be a part of me
