The Toll

from 30​-​30 by Mirror Stories

lyrics

I’m standing in line at the customs,
I’m always smiling, I’m always alone
Took those boots off and opened my bag,
Please officer don’t make me walk the line
There’s a price to pay for always fleeing away

Don’t know which airport I’m standing in
Manchester, Warsaw, Riga or Toronto?
Odessa, Porto, Halifax? I don’t know

This constant moving around is starting to take a toll on my soul
Can’t remember where I’ve been, it’s a blur, but I just keep moving forward

Please take me back, bring me back, to this place I was once glad to have There’s no turning back, I wish I could be, back in uni, start over once more

Please take me back, reel me in, to this place I was once fitting in
There’s no turning back, I wish I could see, all those awful things you did to me

Looking for a way out
Am I awake or what?

The jet lag kicked in, I woke up at 5, fresh like mint and ready to look the part Strolling frozen streets by the Mont Royal, sidewalk’s a blank canvas
I don’t think I’m only walking around, now the breakfast place is open at last, Pour the burning coffee, I’m so cold inside

This constant moving around is starting to take a toll on my soul
Can’t remember where I’ve been, it’s a blur, but I just keep moving forward

Please take me back, bring me back, to this place I was once glad to have There’s no turning back, I wish I could be, back in uni, start over once more

Please take me back, reel me in, to this place I was once fitting in
There’s no turning back, I wish I could see, all those awful things you did to me

Please grab my hand, hold it tight, let’s run off to a new beginning
There’s nowhere to hide, honey let’s make a deal, and see how bad we wanted to leave
