Ticking Video (MV)

I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing but I cannot keep you, girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about a long rope is you can't hold on too tight

Wooden floors and coffee cups
Stepped on and all used up
But I reckon that's what mornings are for
And everyone thinks they know me now
In these close minded leave me towns
But I'm too young to even know myself

There's wheels running down the interstate
Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you
There's time ticking on the interstate
And Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you

And all my friends have moved away
Some got jobs and some got saved
They talk to me like I'm still that kid
The fighting, fiendin' Okie son
The restless, reckless, hopeful one
Who once was proud of everything he did

Do you remember twenty-five
Long legs and loving time?
Seems like ten lifetimes ago
I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I really have to go

There's wheels running down the interstate
But Lord, I'll wait another day, 'cause I ain't close to you
There's time ticking on the interstate
I'm fighting fate
And Lord, I hate that I ain't close to you

I'm cutting ties with things that bind my heart to this world
I love you and I'm willing, but I cannot keep you, girl
Philly by the morning and Ohio by the night
The thing about high hopes is you can't hold on too tight
