lyrics

I don't know where I belong
But I know this isn't it
Indiana wants my life
But I don't want to give it
I've got a lot of things I promised myself
I'd do before I die
But deep down I know I could be back
To raise a family in that small town
Next door to mom and dad

I will hoard up all the things
That make me want to quit
And pass them out as souvenirs
On the day I finally make it

And I wonder what's wrong with me when
I'm the only one laughing at the movies
And why I couldn't shed one tear
At my grandpa's funeral
But I bawled my eyes out
To a stupid country song

I will hoard up all the things that
Make me want to cry
'Cause sometimes I'm too happy
For all the sorrow in this life

I'm beginning to think that I
could marry you
I can't wait to hold your hand
Once your hair has turned grey
And when everyone else
Jumps off board your dreams
I want to be the one who stays

I will hoard up all the things
I could use to break your heart
And we'll start a bonfire with them
In our backyard
