Room For Rent

from Memory (2011) by Roderick

/

lyrics

Lately, the walls of my mind seem more hazy than clear and defined,
It's okay you see, it's just another year.
I've got a room for rent, and after today I'll move as far as I can.
Won't it feel grand to run as fast as I can?

And I know there's meaning in the sound of all those cars underground,
Or finding love in a crowd.
I know this long walk home will melt my feet to the road,
Maybe I'll know where to go.

If I've got something to prove to her, then I better go ahead,
'Cause it's got nothing to do with how I always blame myself.
I saw diamonds in the mountains,
But I couldn't see the real in her.
Take it in, pack up and go.

In time, all those wasted summer nights while I was drowning in skylight,
They'll bring me back to life.

Pack up and go.
