Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lights line up in the distance
See stars from where I′m sittin
I disappear completely, playing with the alcohol, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I′ll be gone
I′ll be gone, I'll be gone
Somewhere far from here there is, it′s calling me
Somebody once told me that I was timid
If I had that situation again I guess I′d say something different
Doesn't that happen a lot when you recite the image
Recycle the truth n find out if you were right to begin with
′N I was twenty when it got heavy in my mind
Nearly every thought that I thought was a burial, I was another
So take a minute when you look at yourself
Say half of my mates, leave them back on the shelf
Somewhere far from here there is, it's calling me
I know I'll find my way down on the sun
(Distant voices)
Somewhere far from here there is, it′s calling me
I know I′ll find my way down on the sun, sun, sun, sun, sun
Somewhere far from here there is, it's calling me
I know I′ll find my way down on the sun
