Sauvie Island

Light the lantern, find yourself a mask
I know you won't tell me who you're trying to be this year
The stars are almost gone and I can almost see your face
Turning from the darkness
Turning from the only place you know

And I've been a hundred thousand miles
Counting distance from the days when freedom only meant
The things you left behind
But I will get lost with you in the pages of things to lose
As long as we never have to go back to Sauvie Island

Even though I ain't staying here, sometimes I daydream
About waking up with nothing to fear but sleep
I never liked talking to the law
I kept it short but they read my face
And I've never had to wonder why they let me go

And I've been a hundred thousand miles
Counting distance from the days when freedom only meant
The things you left behind
But I will get lost with you in the pages of things to lose
As long as we never have to go back to Sauvie Island
