ROAM Lyrics by Lisa Meyers
Come for your empty ties
Spent just to roam
Come for your unpacked lies
Finding your way home
Threads they’re sewn so tight
Edges frayed and worn
Gather them up together
I watch them unravel on their own
Pulling nails from the wall
Dust falls to the floor
Stains and wash colliding
I guess I always want more
Bup-ah I leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
Bup ah I leave it all behind
I leave it all behind
