my worth is measured in seeds and pelts
and grass that's greener everywhere else but here (i fear)
my time is counted in grains of sand
and lines that formed in my weary hands this year
my dear,
did you pack your bags?
are ya headed south?
well i guess the answer is no
and i'm questioned out
but i got one left:
am i ready to let you go?
well you carved your name in my side that night
then looked surprised when the morning light appeared
it's clear
that our nails are bitten, our eyes won't meet
and all you're askin' is:
'why are you still here?'
why are you still here
if goin' back and forth was all we came for
lift a mountain just to let it lie
if goin' back and forth was all we came for
well, now we've come and gone
so say goodbye
did you pack your bags?
are ya headed south?
well i guess the answer is no
and i'm questioned out
but i got one left:
am i ready to let you go?

Ten Meter Band is Amazing!~ Every musician a master at their instrument, I've seen them live over 10 times and they sound just as good live. I love the song writing and melodies very original and catchy. - Ronald Poon adamsmindska
