Intro
E Emaj9 E Emaj9
E
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
Emaj9
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
E
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
Emaj9
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
C#m
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
A
And every glance is killing me
C#m A
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
E
Stop and stare
Emaj9
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A
But I've become what I can't be, oh
E
Stop and stare
Emaj9
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
C#m
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
A
But fair ain't what you really need
E
Oh, can u see what I see
E
They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Emaj9
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
C#m
Steady feet, don't fail me now
A
Gonna run till you can't walk
C#m
But something pulls my focus out
A
And I'm standing down...
E
Stop and stare
Emaj9
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A
But I've become what I can't be, oh
E
Stop and stare
Emaj9
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
C#m
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
A
But fair ain't what you really need
E
Oh, can u see what I see
E
Stop and stare
Emaj9
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
C#m
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
A
But I've become what I can't be
E
Oh, do u see what I see...

| this song could be about wanting to move on in life but being unable to because of past experiences that have held him (someone) back, but I also think that it is about this couple that live in a town where things aren't fair & they are unable to see each other as much as they would like to. it says,"this town is cold and I" meaning they have to go somewhere else where their relationship is welcomed. then it says,"it's time to make a move"... "I've got my heart set". the couple is planning on leaving this town behind. eventually they get in their vehicle and leave. "Steady hands just take the wheel Every glance is killing me Time will make one last appeal For the life I leave" by saying "every glance is killing me", the guy means that he glances at his girlfriend and it kills him to see her like that cause she's probably in the passenger seat right next to him wondering if they're making the right choice & possibly freaking out. finally it says "time will make one last appeal" meaning either they still have time to change their mind and stay in this town in the first place or they are willing to give it time in another place and see how things work out. if it doesn't work out, then they can leave, because the time that they have been away from family and friends in their old town could seem appealing. just my opinion, though. let me know what you think. | |

| it seems like he is describing finally getting over a past embarrassment or past relationship: I think it's sick of us It's time to make a move its like he is getting away.. but to me it sounds like a long term relationship that wasnt working out | |

| i think this song is talking about trying to get out of where you are and going wherever you've always wanted to.. and doing what you've always wanted to. you thought you couldn't leave but you find out you can.. and that change is okay. "untie the weight bags I never thought I could" (possibly weight bags that were holding you down?) :) i tried. lol. i still love love love this song! | |
