The World At Large

[Verse 1] Ice age, heat wave, can't complain If the world's at large, why should I remain? Walked away to another plan Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand I move on to another day To a whole new town with a whole new way Went to the porch to have a thought Got to the door and, again, I couldn't stop You don't know where and you don't know when But you still got your words and you got your friends Walk along to another day Work a little harder work another way Well uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan Well I float on, maybe would you understand? Gonna float on, maybe would you understand? Well I float on, maybe would you understand? [Verse 2] The days get shorter and the nights get cold I like the autumn but this place is getting old I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most The days get longer and the nights smell green I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave I like songs about drifters, books about the same They both seem to make me feel a little less insane Walked on off to another spot I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want Did I want love? Did I need to know? Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow? [Verse 3] The moths beat themselves to death against the lights Adding their breeze to the summer nights Outside water like air was gray I didn't know what I had that day Walk a little farther to another plan You said that you did, but you didn't understand I know that starting over's not what life's about But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud, ah
