The View Between Villages (Extended)

Air in my lungs 'til the road begins

As the last of the bugs leave their homes again

And I'm splittin' the road down the middle

For a minute the world seemed so simple

Feel the rush of my blood

I'm seventeen again

I am not scared of death

I've got dreams again

It's just me and the curve of the valley

And there is meanin' on earth I am happy

Oh oh

Passed Alger Brook Road

I'm over the bridge

A minute from home

But I feel so far from it

The death of my dog

The stretch of my skin

It's all washin' over me

I'm angry again

The things that I lost here

The people I knew

They got me surrounded for a mile or two

The car's in reverse

I'm grippin' the wheel

I'm back between villages

And everything's still

When I for me personally

I found a town big enough

For anything that I want

I mean I'm not a city girl

Ha ha ha by any means

Strafford it still has

A lot of meaning to me

Because I grew up there

Well I guess it's a small

A small community of uh

People that really look out for each other

And that's the same way with anybody

That needs anything

This this community is there to help

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Ooh

Ah oh

The things that

I lost here the people I knew

They got me surrounded for a mile or two

Left at the graveyard

I'm driving past ghosts

Their arms are extended

My eyes start to close

The car's in reverse

I'm grippin' the wheel

I'm back between villages

And everything's still
