As I look down this busy road
Flying north for the winter
Didn't prepare me for the cold
Somewhere out there I'll feel better
Somewhere out there I'll belong
Wish me well
The road shall rise to meet me
I'm already gone
It's time for my departure
It's time for me to go
I can't stay any longer
This place is not my home
Then again
I know it isn't over
I'll already miss you by October
Distance makes the heart grow colder
You wished you could keep me young
I can't help I'm getting older
Far flung wayward son
It's time for my departure
It's time for me to go
I can't stay any longer
This place is not my home
It feels like gravity and time have
Held onto me tight and
Hidden me within
Two years sitting by the fountain
Wandering around and
Tearing at my skin
Then summer came and whispered to me
"Let me set your wings free
Pack your bags and run
Raise a parting glass to toast from
Make sure it's a good one
For what you've become"
It's time for my departure
It's time for me to go
I can't stay any longer
This place is not my home
It's time for my departure
It's time for me to go
