Lyrics

[verse]
I've been chasing habbits
and digging up the past
just-can't-leave well-enough...alone
i am like a dog that's running circles in the lawn
forgetting why he burried that bone

i keep repeating
the same old mistakes
and i ain't been keeping
the promises i made
to me

[verse 2]
i've been chasing sunsets just to lose the dawn?trying to make some sense of the load?and every time i think i've found where i belong?i wind up right there back on the road

i keep on learning?the hard way again?i ain't for turning?i just stand while i can?in peace

[chorus]
I don't know where i'm going
but i'm on my way
headed nowhere
with only the ghosts to guide me

but the spirits in the distance
is the just the rolling fog
i could pull off to the shoulder
but that's not the game

[verse 3]
i can burn the toast and spill my morning tea
trip over nothing, fall on the floor
i can talk a mile and forget what i mean
for those at home keeping the score

[pre-chorus]
i keep on stumbling
but i find my feet
the truth ain't that easy
but it's been good to me
so far

[chorus]
I don't know where i'm going
but i'm on my way
headed nowhere
with only the ghosts to guide me

but the spirits in the distance
is the just the rolling fog
i could pull off to the shoulder
but that's not the game
