lyrics

Fingerprints in the dust, footprints in the sand
Music in some ears, and money in some hands
Face in some memories, besos on cheeks
Love in some hearts, indentations on seats
Scribbles on paper, and calls on some phones
Smoke in some lungs from some visits to homes
Dirt on the floor and words in the air
Bottlecaps on the table and
The beats that are bouncing everywhere

(Chorus)
I’m leaving things behind
Picking up things along the way
Whether I mean to or not
These are my marks upon the day
When it’s traveling time
Looking for a way to get away
This land on which I roam
I try to leave no trace

Seeds in the garden, trees on the land
Sweat on some shirts, and trash in some cans
Rocks in some pockets, ideas in some heads
Sleeping on a floor dreaming of a nice bed
Burnt out lightbulbs, old guitar strings
Broken drumsticks, sawdust from carvings
Speaking opinions and spilling my mind
If I drop my heart don’t let me leave it behind

(Chorus)

Initials in the concrete, not in the bark
Tags on the trains, not in the park
Tickets at the door and shouts at the show
Empty glasses at the bar, high fives to my bros
Nicks in the paint job, dents in the car
Cracks in the windshield from falling stars
Echoes in canyons, and ripples in lakes
Whispers in wind, try to return what I take

I’m leaving things behind
Picking up things along the way
Whether I mean to or not
These are my marks upon the day
When it’s traveling time
I’ve got to leave this campsite clean
Ashes from burnt branches
Used to fuel the dreams
