Where That I Should Be

I hopped a train not particularly anywhere

I thought I’d see myself the coast

I ended up here on the beach tonight in Portland

Chasing down some kind of ghost

Now I don’t usually hop a train that takes me nowhere

And ride the rails to see the sea

Just something in my mind inspired me to go there

I don’t know where that I should be

All I know is it’d be a lot more meaningful

If you were walking here with me

I’m on a boat and I am sailing now to Mexico

Although I hear the water ain’t too good

All by myself and I admit I don’t know where to go

I’d beat a path back to you if I only could

But I still have my shoes firmly placed inside my mouth

I can’t believe I don’t believe

And now I’m on this boat and everything is facing south

I don’t know where that I should be

All I know is I’d feel a lot less miserable

If you were standing next to me

Take a look in the vault now baby

Oh I need some help

It’s not the family’s fault now baby

There ain’t nobody else

And I’m finding out all for myself

You are where that I should be

I hopped a train not particularly anywhere

I guess I tried to run away

I am young but I am older than I really care to say

All I know is I’d be a lot more beautiful

If you were with me here today

All the wounds full of salt now baby

All the books on the shelf are not the family’s fault now baby

There ain’t nobody else

And I’m finding out all by myself

You are where that I should be
