Des Moines, Ia Lyrics - Singles - The Milk Carton Kids

The road does funny things inside a man 

To hurt in ways I just don't understand 

My heart can see the road that leads back home 

I'm afraid that I can't get there any more. 

I wish that you could see into my eyes 

To see what makes me race, and makes me cry 

I have faith inside this broken, tethered heart 

Whatever role I play is the right part. 

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast 

The love you never meant to let slip past 

Minneapolis could take me home, 

But home ain't where I'm headed for. 

My sorrow makes a face, the way I hurt 

A longing for, betrayed by what I'm sure 

Her sounds in words that push and pull you still 

But hardened by the thought of what you will. 

Soon I'll find the places that I know 

Faced by what should find me on this road, 

My heart still sees the path that leads back home 

But I think she's gone, I think I'm all alone. 

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast 

The love you never meant to let slip past 

Minneapolis could take me home, 

But home ain't where I'm headed for. 

Home ain't where I'm headed for.
