[Verse 1] I packed my shirt sleeves And my old address I found a one-way Under all that mess I traced the map line With a shaking hand Wanted a clean break A different land [Pre-Chorus] But every small thing Has a weight of its own A cracked blue mug A place I called home And your laugh still hangs In the hall by the door Like a nail in the wall I can’t pull out anymore [Chorus] I can go far I can go far But I can’t move What made me who I am I can change towns I can change names But I can’t carry Every heart in a bag I can go far I can go far Still some of me Stays where it began [Verse 2] My mother’s numbers On a paper scrap Folded in my wallet Like a map back That little grocery On the corner by the bank The waiter who still says “Same as always” with a wink [Pre-Chorus] You can sell the couch You can ship the books But not the first room That taught you how to look Not the years of rain On the same front step Not the names you wear Long after you left [Chorus] I can go far I can go far But I can’t move What made me who I am I can change towns I can change names But I can’t carry Every heart in a bag I can go far I can go far Still some of me Stays where it began [Bridge] So let the ocean call Let the engine hum I’ll learn a new tongue On a new road home But the child I was In my quiet street Walks beside me still With scuffed-up feet [Final Chorus] I can go far I can go far But I can’t move What made me who I am I can change towns I can change names But I can’t carry Every heart in a bag I can go far I can go far Still some of me Stays where it began [Outro] So I’ll leave the door And I’ll leave the shore But the life I built Will come with me And more
