53 Steps
I am 53 steps from my apartmentI have memorized the cracks that age the roadI couldn't quite grasp what my heart meantBut I think that it was telling me to go
Now I'm going up, down spinning roundTrying to communicateBut these words aren't quite what I'm trying to sayI'm coming close, close, closeI feel it in my toes, toes, toes
There's a light that shines when I'm on the roadThere's a brand new sky that I need to goI'm reading signs, signs, signsAnd I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snowAs the road leads me into the great unknown
17 blocks from the stationAnd 48 stops from the coastI could jump with all my clothes on in the oceanAnd let the water rock me in her throws
And go up, down spin round leave it up to fateLike some sailor finding comfort in the wavesI'm coming close, close, closeI feel it in my toes, toes, toes
There's a light that shines when I'm on the roadThere's a brand new sky where I need to goI'm reading signs, signs, signsAnd I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snowAs I walk into the great unknown
I feel it in my toes, I know I'm coming closeSo I'll leave this old town with her saints and her ghostsI'm coming close, close, closeThe signs say I need to go
There's a light that shines when I'm on the roadThere's a brand new sky where I need to goI'm reading signs, signs, signsAnd I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snowAs I walk into the great unknown
As I walk into the great unknownAs I walk into the great unknown
