Return to Ithaca
[Verse 1]
27 degrees
The world is slowly starting to freeze
Everybody's got some troubled thoughts to leave

Find yourself in the crowd
Of people lost in a blanket of sound
While you're standing there in the flashing dark blue light
And you ask yourself what you're doing here tonight

[Verse 2]
Walk to class for the day
'Till you get back home before eight
And this routine is all you're gonna get
For the rest of your life you know what to expect

[Chorus]
Feels like I think I should know
But my tank's running low
And I know it's the first time
Everybody's fears start to grow
Should be running the show
Take control of my own life
All the things I thought I should want
The appeal has been lost
Now it's caught in the landslide
[Post-Chorus]
You can't fight nature, you've gotta live your life
You're getting older, and now you've crossed the line, and you
Don't have forever, you're running out of time, and
It's only nature, it fucks you every time

[Verse 3]
I would stay with you my whole life
On your apartment floor late in the winter night
Where everything in the world feels like it'll be alright

But when Monday morning lands
I gotta pack it in
And drive 300 miles toward a strange and distant land
Where I'll probably never see your face again

[Chorus]
Feels like I think I should know
But my tank's running low
And I know it's the first time
Everybody's fears start to grow
Should be running the show
Take control of my own life
All the things I thought I should want
The appeal has been lost
Now it's caught in the landslide
[Post-Chorus]
You can't fight nature, you've gotta live your life
You're getting older, and now you've crossed the line, and you
Don't have forever, you're running out of time, and
It's only nature, it fucks you every time

[Outro]
Every time
