Tyler Davis - The Sign Lyrics

Do you hear the crickets singing
Dense fog is in the air
"Keep out" signs are everywhere
And just a normal night
Boy wanders in to do the illogical
And ignores the signs
Then, taking the dare
Climbs up high
Then lowers himself inside
To explore the night
Did you ask yourself this time
Do I put it all on the line
Do I hold, show me a sign
Is this worth risking your life

Your life closes in
The rope from his loneliness
And the knife for his protection
The branches to hang things out to dry
There's a long road down
I've been run out of town
Because I don't fit in
I never fit in
There's a tree along the way
With a sign from me to say
Don't you come in
Don't ever come in

Are you mystified
Are you happy
Happy from the sign
Run for your life and be happy
And leave me here to hide

I was finally feeling free
From the man
You all remember from long ago
The one who dropped the ball
On the 2 yard line
With 10 seconds to go
You all cheered and held up signs
When I was applaudable
And I ignored the lights
The walls that were built
Are to keep you out
Not to cage me all up inside
Please adhere to the signs

Did you ask yourself this time
Do I put it all on the line
Do I hold, show me a sign
Is this worth risking your life

I'm not a man who picks the fight
But I have a feeling inside
This isn't done
Will others come
Only time will tell

Are you mystified
Are you happy
Are you happy from the sign
Run for your life, are you happy
Just leave me here to hide
