Pack a change of clothes and a pillow for the road
For when you drift off
Put the sketches and the notes in the box labeled
'Burn with Furniture'
We will watch the fire burn
The whole entire house we built
Down to ashes
From the mirror we'll admire
How the flame quickly retires
We won't waste a long goodbye
On the smoke or foolish lies
That finally passed us

I was taught to keep an open-ended life
And never trap myself in nothing

Let's find something new to talk about
I'm tired of talkin' about myself
I've spent my whole life talking to
Convince everyone that I was something else

And the part that kinda hurts
Is I think it finally worked
And now I'm leaving
I get the feeling things have changed
But the mystery to me
Is where and when along the way
Did anyone decide that they believed me

I was taught to keep an open-ended life
And never trap myself in nothing
I was told to keep an open-ended life
To never trap yourself in nothing

When we settle down
In another nowhere town
Let's tell our neighbors
We won't be here long
And we'll be quiet
But, don't go askin' any favors

I can't stand the unexpected
Uninvited visits from too many strangers
My trust has dwindled down
And I can leave just as abruptly as I came here

I was taught to keep an open-ended life
To never trap myself in nothing
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
To never trap yourself in nothing
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
To never trap myself in nothing
