Jonah Smith - Sunnyville Lyrics

There's a time for every purpose
There's a home for every soul
And you'll learn to live without us
And you'll forge on alone

In the hills the palms are waving
They have no memory of man
The body of the ocean
Or embers on the sand

Farewell to old Lake Skaenny
Goodbye to old mistakes
So long to New York City
I'm pulling up my stakes

I'm heading out to Sunnyville
But I hope to see you soon
When the jacks are in their boxes
And the cherry blossoms bloom

And I want to be somebody new
And I want to be somebody new

I never bent to be somebody
I never called the favor in
I never thought to ask for more
But I wonder where you've been

Heading off to Sunnyville
West on my own steam
Where liars jockey for the lead
And beggars dare to dream

And I want to be somebody new
And I want to be somebody who
Could love you like the wind from the sea
Caressing your shoulder like the breeze

Don't fret about tomorrow
But don't sleep while others scheme
We are clever when we are younger
But now we're old enough to dream

I'm heading out to Sunnyville
But I hope to see you soon
Wondering the streets
To ponder angles of the moon
