lyrics

I’m running after something
I think I feel it coming
My eyes are open wide
I’m turning every corner

Chasing my heart down hallways
A maze of open windows
Every step I take
I wonder if I’m getting warmer

I’m off in ten directions
Barely see my reflection
Every time I look
it keeps getting further

Can’t keep myself from reaching
Through every open window
So many stops to make
But all the time I hear the murmur

I have this feeling with every step that I’ll be something better tomorrow
And I have this notion I’ll find myself if I just reach the next open window

My eyes are looking forward
My mind is on the map
But I’m still fighting with my feet that got me so off-track

I’m so distracted, taking every turn without a thought
I keep on wandering from the path and wondering why I’m lost

I have this feeling with every step that I’ll be something better tomorrow
And I have this notion I’ll find myself if I just reach the next open window

Forget the map and just keep walking
Don’t look back, that feeling’s calling
But something louder than a feeling follows me as I go
What if I never reach that open window

I’ve had this feeling with every step that I’d be something better tomorrow
And I’ve had this notion I’d find myself if I just reached for the next open window
But I have this feeling if I live today I’ll be free to be better tomorrow
And I have this notion I’ll find myself when I don’t need the next open window

We're The Gender Gnomes.
