Left
Every day. All the time. Sometimes I think nothing else ever matters but the things that get left behind.
I’ve been from here to Lawrence, Kansas
Trying to leave my state of mind
Trying to leave this awful sadness
But I can’t leave this world behind…
Some prophecies are self-fulfilling
But I’ve had to work for all of mine
Better times will come to me, God willing
Cause I can’t leave this world behind
-Josh Ritter, “Lawrence, KS”
