53 Steps

I am 53 steps from my apartment I have memorized the cracks that age the road I couldn't quite grasp what my heart meant But I think that it was telling me to go Now I'm going up, down spinning round Trying to communicate But these words aren't quite what I'm trying to say I'm coming close, close, close I feel it in my toes, toes, toes There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky that I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As the road leads me into the great unknown 17 blocks from the station And 48 stops from the coast I could jump with all my clothes on in the ocean And let the water rock me in her throws And go up, down spin round leave it up to fate Like some sailor finding comfort in the waves I'm coming close, close, close I feel it in my toes, toes, toes There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky where I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As I walk into the great unknown I feel it in my toes, I know I'm coming close So I'll leave this old town with her saints and her ghosts I'm coming close, close, close The signs say I need to go There's a light that shines when I'm on the road There's a brand new sky where I need to go I'm reading signs, signs, signs And I'm, I'm, I'm seeing patterns in the snow As I walk into the great unknown As I walk into the great unknown As I walk into the great unknown
