Alaska Lyrics

Daddy said to do better son

This life you live ain't for nothing

When do you plan to fight for 

The life god has stored 

For you

I can still see her standing there 

In that cold October air

Grinning like tomorrow came

One joy at a time 

I've been tired dear  to my bones

It's been awhile since my heart broke

Why do I still feel

All my hang ups and fears

Now I'm stuck here in Alaska

Next time I see you I'll just ask ya

How long'd it take to plan your getaway?

Under this never setting sun 

I think about the things I should've done

Guess it'd all come out the same anyway

How are you still standing there? 

Where you've been for three damn years

When you were dying to get out 

Of this life that kept you a-drowning 

Out here where the city meets the sea

There's a little sweet memory

Of my gut pitted, scared to death

Where we went ahead and said "Yes"

I may stay a little bit broken

And I'm not sure if I'll ever get over

The beauty in this place 

Or the memory of her sweet face

Now I'm stuck here in Alaska

Next time I see you I'll just ask ya

How long'd it take to plan your getaway?

Under this never setting sun 

I think about the things I should've done

Guess it'd all come out the same anyway

When'd you make up your mind

To up and leave me far behind?

I guess it's just one of those things

Where no ones left the one to blame
