Fences and Neon (버전 2)

Verse

Paint still wet on the fence line we painted last week

Your mom's old truck parked outside with the keys

You said goodbye like it was just a word you're learning

Left your jacket slung over my shoulder, that's all I'm keeping

Two towns down where the cornfield turns to town

I keep thinking I'll see you driving back this way around

Mailbox full of letters I never sent

Radio stations we promised we'd call and then

Pre-Chorus

So why does it still feel like home

Even after all these miles I've crossed alone

Chorus

I'm standing on the edge of what used to be

Holding onto you like a fence can keep me free

Somewhere between where we were and where I'm going now

That's the only place that feels like home, somehow

Verse 2

Saw your name in neon over a diner door down south

Picked up the phone but never hit send again, no doubt

Found a picture of us from the summer '09

Taped it to my dashboard so I won't forget what we know

Traffic light turning red at a crossroads I don't own yet

Engine sputtering like my heart still trying to get set

Every mile marker's another version of me that's gone by

Still keeping your old hoodie folded in the backseat, why

Pre-Chorus

So why does it still feel like home

Even after all these miles I've crossed alone

Chorus

I'm standing on the edge of what used to be

Holding onto you like a fence can keep me free

Somewhere between where we were and where I'm going now

That's the only place that feels like home, somehow

Bridge

Maybe fences just mark where love got tired

Not where it stopped burning out of your eyes

So I'm letting go of every post and wire

Learning how to drive on without the maps you drew in my mind

Chorus

I'm standing on the edge of what used to be

Holding onto you like a fence can keep me free

Somewhere between where we were and where I'm going now

That's the only place that feels like home, somehow
