Several Miles

If it's several miles to sundown
and your car just eats the road
carry on to the next town
try to lighten your load.

If your wheels keep spinning
finding truth in the night
then tonight could be the perfect moment
to watch yourself take flight

Could you tell me where the sky will see me next?
Could it take me to the place that I love best?
It's only several miles to somewhere but I haven't found it yet.
It's only several miles to somewhere but I haven't been there yet.

There's a very concious reason
if you awake to find me gone
I'm on an escapes to awareness
you'll find I'm not the only one.
And if it's only several miles
to a place I can call home
then the road could fade in my rear-view
while I carry on alone

Could you tell me where the sky will see me next?
Could it take me to the place that I love best?
It's only several miles to somewhere but I haven't found it yet.
It's only several miles to somewhere but I haven't been there yet.

I wrote this song 3 years ago and it finally applies. I wrote it when I wasn't even a driver yet. Kinda funny. It's one of the songs that has never left my repertoire over the years because it just felt perfect when it came out. I think I'll be singing it all the way to K-town. I'll miss everybody so badly for the first few months. But we will adjust and life will return to normal as we move down our respective paths. I've never felt as at home as I have since finding what I love to do here in Nanaimo. When I moved here I had never even seen a play let alone thought about performing or backstage work. Six years later and I am a completelly different person from the 15 year old me.
