Here a rare few words I recognize

Even less the next place I go

But there's a shimmer in everyone's eyes

New landscape, new status quo

Brick houses with stone monsters attached

Older than the whole world I've known

Here I leave with only some knowledge, a patch,

And days of footage saved to my phone

[Chorus:]

Just give me new streets to fill my book

New sounds to carry my song

New conceptions for things I may have mistook

New rules for what's right and wrong

Lend me wonders and beautiful works of art

Adventures that I might ponder

This isn't the world but it's a good start

Now please may I wander

Please may I wander

Signs in languages I've never tried to learn

Lips that are hopeless to read

The unknown follows my every turn

So I must let my heart take the lead

It's an odd kind of chaos that I find here

A bit familiar but with a twist

But these are memories that I'll hold dear

Here in cities where I won't be missed

[Chorus]

Boys making out on a parisian street

No-one around bats an eye

There's a feeling they seem to complete

I'm just a traveler, passing them by

And when I know I'm near the end

Homestead a mile away

I just close my eyes, hope it's not pretend

That I'll come back here someday

[Chorus]
