McGhee Tyson Airport

Another day in the city, you’ve never looked so pale
They say the pure of heart don’t stand a chance
So you better lean to swim, there will be rainy days

Blinded by the break lights, nothings moving here
All these questions just get answered with another mile
There is no help at all

Question me your questions, it’s a pointless enterprise
You can ask but I can only tell you what I think you want to hear
So for crying out loud

Will you listen to those bleeding hearts and attempt to show concern
You glance towards your watch and join as everybody sings
What have you become

The truth it’s for students of philosophy, faith is for losers like us
Secrets are for people who intend to get away with being in the wrong
So don’t you breathe a word

Save your breath for laughing out loud,
Save your breath for talking all night
It’s going to be alright again, save your breath

Standing at the station you brought a change of heart
You smile away the old country as you watch it disappear
And pull these years apart

Starring out the window, from this sad lonely seat
You tell yourself a hundred times that forever starts today
Just think how good it feels

Will you hop a plane to anywhere, there’s surely no place like home
There are no strangers just people you don’t really know
Before you cry out loud

Save your breath for laughing out loud,
Save your breath for talking all night
For riding in the clouds again, save your breath
