never to late to leave

The urge to be someplace else

It was strange to me

I have a strong impulse to stay

I assured by mature people the maturity would cure this itch

That it would cure the itch to travel

So, I brushed that felling away like dirt under a rug

This disease was high and low

My mind sneezed and paced restlessly

Therefore, its set I stay

There will always be another time

You don’t want to go and be

Alone nameless friendless without family and no accomplices

It's a lot of hard work to

To go a thousand mile is the same walk on an endless road

There is no rule that say you can't leave

But where we are standing is not where we are supposed to stay

It's not where we are supposed to be

I know what you mean to paid attention

The whole world barked at you telling mwe to move

It's like a prophecy

Once you move you will be trapped in the clarity

What was near you is now beyond you

To move is giving yourself a new life

You should leave and give yourself life

And leave the old one behind
