There's a wilted rose in a jar on the table,
There's a dried up heart in her chest,
There's a time for going against all odds,
And a time for doing what's best
Through all the thankless jobs,
And the nights by the t.v.
The late notices piling high,
I think it still would have been all right,
If we hadn't lost the fight inside
So blow you winds of change,
And send us spinning on your way,
Cause there's nothing left 'round here,
To make us stay,
Time to fly away
Did you ever think there could be this much dust?
Or that so many pretty things could fade?
Yeah, we gave it our best here, baby,
But this town gave it back in spades
Another set of real lives,
Broken down to boxes,
Memories that get packed away,
Another story that ends in a U-Haul trailer,
Slowly pulling away
So blow you winds of change,
And send us spinning on your way,
Cause there's nothing left 'round here,
To make us stay,
Time to fly away
So blow you winds of change,
And send us spinning on your way,
Cause there's nothing left 'round here,
To make us stay
We will be taking all our chances with us,
Upon this last crusade,
And leave this place to sink down in the clay,
Time to fly away
