Quail Run

12-04, that's when I was born

I lived right on Quail Run

What was I in for, walkin' thru that door

They told me it would be fun

I had a past life up in my mind

But they kept telling me no, time move slow

I was different, I didn't fit in

I tried to figure out why

Give me a hint, show me the blueprint

Right into my f*cked up mind

Just give me a clue, or something new

I guess I'll give it a try, oh why

I gotta keep going, I gotta keep moving

I gotta find a way out of this place

Cuz I just keep dreaming about leaving

To go somewhere far away

But I don't know where to go

I'm far away from my home

And I'm all alone on the ground

But that's where I found... myself

Was it love, was it hate

All I did was complicate

Was it joy, was it pain

It was all just for the game

Thought we lost, thought we won

I just wanted to be done

So I go back to where I'm from

All the way to Quail Run

I was thirteen, fresh on the scene

But I had to keep some secrets

One about me, the other one: she

I wish that I could forget

So I wrote songs all night long

Through all of the cold sweats, it's not over yet

In a few years, after all the tears

I barely remembered it all

Everything's clear, but I still have fear

What happens if it all falls

Of course I fell hard, right into your arms

I thought you would be the one

But everything came undone

I gotta keep going, I gotta keep moving

I gotta find a way out of this place

Cuz I just keep dreaming about leaving

To go somewhere far away

But I don't know where to go

I'm far away from my home

And I'm all alone on the ground

But that's where I found... myself

Was it love, was it hate

All I did was complicate

Was it joy, was it pain

It was all just for the game

Thought we lost, thought we won

I just wanted to be done

So I go back to where I'm from

All the way to Quail Run

In July I got a phone call at noon

They told me that God took you too soon

I didn't wanna lose you but I did

All the memories come back from when I was a kid

I felt like I was stuck in a whirlwind

And at that point I wish I knew where he had been

Cuz he's the light of my life that I found in the dark

He showed me the beauty even in the scary parts

And he takes me out and treats me like a king

And to pay him back I do the same damn thing

Because that's how a relationship should work

But I had to learn to love myself first

I finally learned how to love someone

So now I can move on and say thank you Quail Run

Thank you Quail Run
