Fearless

You call it fearless. And I've got you believing,
that there's some vague act of bravery in the why that I am leaving.
And maybe it is cowardice to tell you this now.
But I made such a mess of loving you, that I can't go on living in this town.
I can't go on living in this town.

We thought we had it all figured out, remember?
We thought that we could rule it.
I thought that some brave act of vaguery would take that wall and bust right through it.
And all those things I didn't tell you still rattling round here in my head.
Like lying next to you was heaven, my heaven, was lying there beside you in your bed.

I hold these moments, like photos in my wallet, like thumbtacks on my map.
And I know exactly what I'd do different if I ever had the chance.
But I chose a life of highways and strangers and lovers.
And I know exactly what I have to sacrifice... living in this town.

So it seems my life will fit in boxes.
Still it seems my heart won't travel light.
Cause you turned all the bad in me to goodness.
And you turned all my loneliness to light.
And all those things I cannot tell you will drag along behind the car.
So it seems I'll still be searching for you,
Even when I know exactly where you are.

I hold these moments, lying wakeful in my rest, laying heavy on my chest.
And I know exactly how I'd be different if I ever had the chance.
But I chose a life of highways and strangers and lovers.
And I know exactly what I have to sacrifice... living in this town.

You call it fearless, and I've got you believing,
That there's some great act of bravery in the why that I am leaving.
And all those things I couldn't tell you, I guess I'll never tell you now.
Like I made such a mess of loving you, that I can't go on living in this town.
I can't go on living in this town.
