—A man went looking for America. And couldn’t find it anywhere.
when did you notice was it early in the journey
what gave it away was it the planes splitting
the tarmac in half because I hear them all the time
they sound the same way the air tastes sometimes
thick with promise like something is coming
when you cast off your watch jumped on your bike
the metal glinting in the desert I didn’t laugh
I took it seriously sometimes I am committed
to the metaphor too your friend is running loose
my friends are dreaming I’m trying to enjoy myself
what else can I do but trust the seasons naturally
this is easier said than done you know this better than me
you kept going you made it just in time for the party
so I kept going trampled over July like I wanted to win it
and in the end there was nothing what I’m trying to say is
we all went looking some of us are still looking
