When you find what matters is what you feel

It arrives, and it disappears

Driving down sunny 44 highway

There's a beach there known for cancer waiting to happen

When you're out across the county line

The news travels slower than a ten-second buzz



And only you'll ever know

'Cause day by day it disappears

Only you'll ever know



And it's hard enough soaking up billboard signs

You scorch and drown alive

Never knowing why



The levee gates are open wide

There's a cough in the water, and it's running into town.

Bright eyes, don't change, stay the same

There must be an answer for what keeps it going on



But only you'll ever know

'Cause day by day it disappears

Only you'll ever know
