     I can't be free with what's locked inside of me   If there was a key, you took it in your hands
     All the rusted signs....

LYRICS

VERSE
I have not been home since you left long ago...
Thumbing my way back to heaven...
Counting steps... walking backwards on the road
Counting my way back to heaven...

CHORUS
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...
If there was a key, you took it in your hands
There's no wrong or right... but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead

CHORUS
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
Thumbing my way back to heaven...
Wish that I could hold you... wish that I had...
Thinking 'bout heaven...

BRIDGE
I let go of a road... thinking that's what held me back...
And in time I've realized... it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next... from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

CHORUS
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives...
Choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back... now there's no turning back...

VERSE
No matter how cold the winter... there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walkin' the miles... every once in a while, get a ride
Thumbing my way back to heaven... x3
