Selden Mansions Songtext
My heart pounds for towns
Where no one makes a sound
Quiet lives and peace of mind
Where nothing's ever on the line
Dying for it now
Open roads leave a hole in my heart
I get home, and I blink, then I'm gone again
Yeah, those sidewalkless streets
They're so priceless to me
Get me on Long Island now
Cry
Tear after tear, and
Find
What will always be by
Your side in life
I know it seems like I'm barеly here now
Try to be prеsent, don't break down
Or live with regret for that time overseas
Where I couldn't be reached
I don't mean to let you down
Each year
Pulls further and further
From staying here
This choice is a burden
The West Coast's a dream
Made in heaven for me
But I need Long Island now
Cry
Tear after tear, and
Find
What will always be by
Your side in life
I know it seems like I'm barely here
Life crawls away from you so slow
So far away from your first look, touch
The things that feel so lush
And you just can't replace
As every day flies by at lucid place
Then falls away
Streetlights
Signs guiding you home
Wherever you go
Where no one makes a sound
Quiet lives and peace of mind
Where nothing's ever on the line
Dying for it now
Open roads leave a hole in my heart
I get home, and I blink, then I'm gone again
Yeah, those sidewalkless streets
They're so priceless to me
Get me on Long Island now
Cry
Tear after tear, and
Find
What will always be by
Your side in life
I know it seems like I'm barеly here now
Try to be prеsent, don't break down
Or live with regret for that time overseas
Where I couldn't be reached
I don't mean to let you down
Each year
Pulls further and further
From staying here
This choice is a burden
The West Coast's a dream
Made in heaven for me
But I need Long Island now
Cry
Tear after tear, and
Find
What will always be by
Your side in life
I know it seems like I'm barely here
Life crawls away from you so slow
So far away from your first look, touch
The things that feel so lush
And you just can't replace
As every day flies by at lucid place
Then falls away
Streetlights
Signs guiding you home
Wherever you go
