[Verse 1]
Polished my shoes, I bought a brand new hat
Moved to a town that time forgot
Where I don't have to shave or be approachable
No, I can do just what I want
I wanna walk in that howling wind
'Til it scatters all my thoughts
Sit alone on that riverbank
'Til I forget that I can talk
Just listen

[Verse 2]
They say everyone has a choice to make
To be loved or to be free
I told you once I felt invisible
And I'm sure, by now, you've seen
That what I meant is I'm not all there
Until I finally leave
Some loneliness is acceptable
And some's just outright mean
It gets even

[Chorus]
Ivy crawls up the garden wall
Builds a ladder towards the sun
Can't be climbed, but whose gonna mind
If I claim it can be done?
Illusion
[Bridge]
And the sun goes down
And the stars come out
In the distance that I felt
I can see it for myself now

[Verse 3]
Boarded a train to take my memories back
Make up for time that I have lost
I'll never know if I'm delusional
I just believe that I am not
I'm gonna work for my sanity
Give it everything I've got
Though so far, I have cheated death
I know someday I'll get caught
Just living

[Chorus]
So here we go, man, it's beautiful
Get your trumpet, get your drum
Keep in time in a second line
It can make you feel so young
I know you say you'll go all the way
But that's not quite far enough

[Outro]
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that exact same thing once
