Everywhere I Go

Lyrics:

Sunken dreams with unsown seams

Leave me a torn up mess to clean

I try hard to stitch it up

Start a second chance with us

and I look for you everywhere I go

I’m aimless round and round

Circling your favorite spots in town

Skipping stones and missing home

You’re tracing everything I know

So I look for you everywhere I go

Drown me in a hundred hugs

But I’m numb to everybody’s touch

You have me hanging by a single thread

I remember everything you’ve said

How am I supposed to let you go

I don’t think I can let you go

Guess for now I’ll just pretend

Until I’ve hit every dead end

You’re gone I know I know

But I still get tiny strings of hope

I look for you everywhere I go

Oh I look for you everywhere I go

Oh I look for you everywhere I go

I look for you

I look for you

I look for you everywhere I go

I look for you

I look for you

I look for you everywhere
