Des Moines - The Milk Carton Kids

The road does funny things inside a man

To hurt in ways I just don’t understand

My heart can see the road that leads back home

I’m afraid that I can’t get there anymore

I wish that you could see into my eyes

To see what makes me race and makes me cry

I have faith inside this broken tethered heart

Whatever role I play is the right part

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast

A love you never meant to let slip past

Minneapolis could take me home

But home ain’t where I’m headed for

My sorrow makes a face the way I hurt

A longing-for betrayed by what I’m sure

Are sounds and words that push and pull you still

But hardened by the thought of what you will

Soon I’ll find the places that I know

Faced by what should find me on this road

My heart still sees the path that leads back home

But I think she’s gone, I think I’m all alone

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast

A love you never meant to let slip past

Minneapolis could take me home

But home ain’t where I’m headed for
