| Lyrics |

I ran up to the rooftops
I can’t see but I want to
How far to the next town
How long till I reach you

I know that I’m getting close
But it feels too slow
I know that I’ve come so far
But I’m still not home

Promise me I won’t be lost in the conflict of everything I’ve been through lately
It’s hard to see everything clearly from the city streets so I close my eyes, I close my eyes

I sit down and I let go
It’s good now cause I want to
I won’t ask for the next town
But how long till I reach you

I know that I’m getting close
But it feels too slow
I know that I’ve come so far
But I’m still not home
I know there’s a lot to fix
And it all takes time
But I can’t stay patient, I can’t stay patient

Promise me I won’t be lost in the conflict of everything I’ve been through lately
It’s hard to see everything clearly from the city streets so I close my eyes, I close my eyes

I can’t see ten miles ahead, only the ground
I can’t see the stars up above me, only the clouds
But still I keep moving
