lyrics

I got lost while I was lookin' for the pier,
Knew the direction but hadn't been in years,
Is it still down there or did it wash away,
In that freak hurricane that we had back in May?
The winds they blew so hard they swept me off my feet,
Sending trash and branches down the empty streets,
Knowcking down all of the places we have lived,
Houses got destroyed and we had to rebuild,
Started over and we tried to make it right this time,
Build these walls so thick no one could come inside,
How it backfired when the walls came crumbling in,
Trapped me with my memories and aching limbs,
How'd it all go wrong? I guess I'll never know, oh,
I am looking for the pier and to let go.
