Lyrics
On The Campaign Trail
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One place for all this distance
We've got so displaced
The life that you've always wanted
A thousand miles away
Like nomads, like an architect
Like moving in one place
We can live forever
We can fade away
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else
Now I have your attention
It's just a matter of time
'Till you question what I'm saying
Make me justify
Every word in every line
That does not seem to fit
But the meaning's not so important
As long as you mean it
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else
The life that
I wanted
Is frozen
In motion
(x 2)
Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else (x 2)
I can't do anything else (x 3)
