[Verse 1]
Pack all my things, it's time to go
Filling my car with everything
Leaving to stop the bleeding
Calling my dad, I'm coming home
[Verse 2]
I said goodbye at seventeen
How could it ever be the same?
Four hours to feel and then forget
I promised I'd never cry again
[Pre-Chorus]
My legs start the motion while my head is in the ocean
Ash rolls off the hillside and I loath the gift of hindsight
[Chorus]
What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending
[Verse 3]
You can say it in the morning
I can't sleep, but this is getting boring
I don't have to listen to this
Unless you are gonna tell me sorry
[Pre-Chorus]
My legs start the motion while my head is in the ocean (Head is in the ocean)
Ash rolls off the hillside and I loath the gift of hindsight
[Chorus]
What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending
[Bridge]
I can see
That it's changing me
To something I don't wanna be
So I'm leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
My legs start the motion, my head is in the ocean
I've felt this before, why can't I control my emotions?
[Chorus]
What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending
[Outro]
I can't see this getting better when I'm older
And I still love you if you ask me
But it's been years since I've known what that means

Caleb Harper:
It’s about leaving home and the fractured relationship with my parents, and just feeling like there’s a point of no return sometimes. And I felt that both physically and metaphorically as I drove away in my 80 series Land Cruiser, packed with all my earthly belongings. Tough one.
