So Close Now...

That is kinda cliche, but I really couldn't think of a better title. It's the night before graduation and I really don't think it's hit me yet. I feel like I could write forever about my last 4 years of college and maybe in a few days I'll do that. Friends, Family, and music...that pretty much sums up college for me. It's been fun and I can't believe its over. I can't really think of much else to write other than I'm really going to graduate!!!! :) WHOOP! '09

I’ve got the streets memorized
I see the faces embedded in my mind
I can’t keep on fighting the urge go
I’ve got nothing in common with this town I’ve come to know

I am so close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now
to getting out

The same old lines, the same routine
Nothing changes and that’s not good for me
I need a break. I need something new
I need to replace these old worn out broken shoes

I am so close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now
to getting out

I’ve got that truck all loaded down
I should’ve known how hard it’d be leave this town

I am...
So close now to walking away
About to walk a path I’ve gotta take
I am packing up heading out
I can’t sleep I’m dreaming way too loud
I’m so close now, so close now
to getting out
