Oregon Paroles

Something waits for her in Oregon

I cannot compete

I feel compelled by life to leave this town

But I can't move my feet



So I pray this humble prayer

To whoever might be out there

I could worship what I cannot see

Or maybe I should just let go

Voluntarily



Something waits for me or so I wish

The stars are all aligned

It's not so bad he says and means each word

as we smoke to pass the time



So I lay here in the night

With my fingers turned as cold as ice

I could ask or help but from who

When all I want is to forget

Inside of a room



Maybe I'm overacting like I always do

I don't know if you remind me of her

Or if she makes me think of you



Something waits for everyone I know

Though we don't all agree

We feel compelled by life to leave our towns

but stay to make ends meet



So I wind up at her door

I won't beg but I can't ask for more

It's familiar when I take it in

Maybe I don't have to lose

But I can never win
