lyrics

I'm not so bad off
Look at what I've got
I thought I could ride this good
Out of this ghost town
I thought wrong

I come back here without fail
I am numb where people feel fire
I feel fine here
There is something to be said
For the familiar

I fear I will never admit
The level of my commitment
The degree to which I am in this

It is easy to feel off-base
To get mired here
I am tired of knowing this
Inside and out
You have been my way out

I come back here without fail
I am numb where people feel fire
I feel fine here
There is something to be said
For the familiar
