I Just Had To See The World

Hardened thorny stems wind their way through an old chipped wooden fence 

Whose cream paint lay more upon the soil then across it's tattered frame 

There's a house behind it, through the browned weeds one can make out the top step 

Between remnants of the porch and gate, it's easy to figure where the path once was 

 

But that was many years ago, i suppose 

Where i would run to your door 

And where you have gone, who knows 

I always thought i'd find you here 

 

I just had to see the world 

 

Life and its seasons tend to wind their way through the holes in o'r fast lives 

Whose white paint layers cover the present truth of o'r tattered frames 

There's a house behind it, when the browned weeds come you'll make out the mem'ries 

Between remnants of the porch and gate, it's easy to figure where the path had belonged 

 

But that was many years ago, i suppose 

Where i would run to your door 

And where you have gone, who knows 

I always thought i'd find you here 

 

I just had to see the world 

 

I traveled, yes i traveled 

My suitcase has more weight from its tags then it's contents 

And every ship sails off course, so i've heard 

Some ships never get back to port 

And when some ships return home, it's been so long 

Everything they've loved is gone 

ALong the way they found what they were searching for inside 

But couldn't find it all around them again(/like before) 

 

Yea that was many years ago, i suppose 

Where i would run to your door 

And where you have gone, who knows 

I always thought i'd find you here 

I always thought i'd find you here 

As i walk through the fallen down door 

There's a paper on the table in your room 

May have been a note for me 

But the writing has faded beyond reading 

Beyond my imagination
