Brandi Carlile - Hard Way Home Lyrics

Ooh
I sometimes lose my faith in luck
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I just count the rain
Wearing the floor through the boards again
I wish I could find a soul to steal
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
And we could drive it home and never have to worry about being alone

Ooh, I'll follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Ooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Ooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Ooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

Never did learn how to follow the rules
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
I'll just lie and burn
Wreck my mind while the planet turns
Sometimes wish I could start again
Try and do the right thing every now and then
I'd step in line
That's what I'd do if I could turn back time

Ooh, I'll follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Ooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Ooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Ooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

Ooh

I'll tell you how I want to live
Forget about the take
Forget about the give
I want to leave this town
Fake my death and never be found

Ooh, I'll follow my tracks
See all the times I should have turned back
Ooh, I wept alone
I know what it means to be on my own
Ooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Ooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home

Sometimes lose my faith in luck
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
I just count the rain
Wearing the floor to the boards again
I wish I could find a soul to steal
I could be the engine, you could be the wheels
And we could drive it home and never have to worry about being alone

Ooh, the things I've known
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Ooh, the seeds I've sown
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
Taking the hard way home
