Maritime States

I’m stretching out my arms
reaching for both coasts
My traveling heart
never gets that far from home
I’m keeping my words
tucked inside my mouth
everything I’m afraid of
I will never say out loud
The things I believe
are constantly changing
I just wanna' be a part
of something worth saving
I’m brave in my head
but when it comes time to act
I’m never around
It’s the courage that I always lack
I’ve grown
so scared of everything now
I can’t find a way
to calm myself down
I’m so sick
of waking up to bad news
when every day
gets a little bit harder to get through
I’m stretching out my arms
reaching for the people I love
My traveling heart
never gets as far as my head does
I’ve grown
so scared of everything now
I can’t find a way
to calm myself down
I’m so sick
of waking up to bad news
When every day
gets a little bit harder to get through
