Happy Endings Lyrics - Something For Kate

this town makes my mind slow down 

lines in my face like highways now 

chasing breezes, kicking boulders 

and all of the while just getting older 

i leave pieces of paper 

pieces of myself along the way 

out the window, out the window 

and i tell myself that 

i'll come back for them before i go 

and then i won't sing this song tomorrow 

reason calls i'm never listening 

there's always something more distracting 

and you take everything so seriously 

then you leave and burn up on re-entry 

for happy endings 

all these little victories 

gathered up and hung on the wall like trophys 

i tell myself that 

i've been down this road before 

so i won't sing this song anymore 

i've been down this road before 

so i won't sing this song anymore 

i've been down on myself enough before 

so i won't sing this song anymore
