This is what travelling alone feels like to me... (that melancholy bliss)

lyrics

Sun is out and somehow
the guys decide that I can come along.
"Hey, what do you say? We know a way.
Come find us further on."
They run off in twos to the railroad
abandoned by the city long ago.

I find my way, climb the wall, and somehow
I decide to be alone.
The trees are overgrown, and I can hear
little voices in the stones.
Sundresses sway on the balconies.
Graffiti in the tunnel goes for miles.

These railroad tracks lead to God knows where.
I believe I might be in a dream,
or maybe I found some hack in an open world video game,
strange as that may seem.

Sometimes I believe in what I make,
but what if I'm just wasting time?
"Hey, what do you do? Do you live here?"
they say through see-through smiles.
"Oh, are you still doing music?
Is that the only instrument you play?"

I wander on and come upon a bridge
that overlooks the street.
I go to the edge and I wave, no one seems to see.
A smile on my face, I go on my way.
Who knew alone could feel so free?

These railroad tracks lead to God knows where.
I believe I might be in a dream,
or maybe I found some hack in an open world video game,
strange as that may seem.
