[Verse 1]
I had to leave home for home
Packed my car up gave my key to neighbors
Hope they keep my plants alive
Then I drove four states East
And every car along the ride was also on their own odyssey
[Refrain 1]
Florida to Tampa
Oregon to bend
These license plates like name tags in reverse migration
Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon
I dunno what's comin', do you any of you?
[Chorus]
But last night I think I met my mom
And this afternoon I met my sister
And this morning, I finally met my dad
While he was outside just picking up dogshit
Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
[Verse 2]
I'm having to reinvent
The way I measure time now
'Cause "days and hours" feel like a past life
Tryna learn new manners
Like how to greet a stranger on the street
With nothing but your eyes, oh
[Refrain 2]
Texas to Houston
New York to The City
I know you're getting slammed but you'll walk again
Every mile closer to the dark side of the moon
I dunno what's coming I just wanna hold you soon
[Chorus]
But last night I met the Milky Way
As it was shivering outside of my window
And this morning I finally met the birds
'Cause there's nothing else to do but watch them
Oh, despite everything else I think I met myself
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
[Outro]
A few months ago
I thought the world was ending it was
Burning all the work we'd just begun
But then through mornings without traffic
Through horizons without smog
I could see that wasn't fire, no
That was just the dawn
