lyrics

It's 3 am mountain time
I've been running on empty for a while
I guess I'm running from some empty feeling too
Thought that i could lose these blues
If i just kept strapping on my shoes
But there's something keeps my thoughts comin' back to you

There's just no place that feels like home
No one who doesn't make me wanna be alone
I feel a constant pull from somewhere up above
But sometimes it can take years
To cast aside our fits and fears
And set out on the road to find someone to love

I saw a river in Argentina
And thought about your eyes
Felt the desert wind across my face
It reminded me of your sighs
There's just something about your smile
That time cannot erase
So baby, tell me
Me quieres

I ended up in West Virginia
I was following the Lost River
I thought, surely it would take me somewhere new
But it took me to a place
That I knew I couldn't stay
Baby don't you know I've got a restless spirit too

I floated in the warm Pacific
And thought of your embrace
Flew high over the Andes
Thought of the lines along your face
There's just something about your smile
That time cannot erase
So baby, tell me
Me quieres

Somewhere underneath our skins
Is the journey that one day begins
The morning we wake up and hear the call
There's a myth that's waiting to be writ
There's a chapter that cannot be skipped
There's a legend that lies deep within us all
