about

There's an overpass on the highway that you pass under each time you drive back southwards to my hometown, it's called called Sierra Street. This song is about how I feel lately whenever I pass it.

lyrics

Sierra
I'm growing tired
I keep driving back to you
And your hands are so cold

Long walk back
To the land that I grew from
Feels like I'm seeing through
All the stories we're told

And I'm a liar at heart
Every fire I start
Ends in smoke
I can't see your face

I'm surviving the part
Where my mind breaks my heart
Can't relate
And I don't know my fate

But all of my heroes have sung about the blues
I keep imagining my friends meeting you
Proud of places I've seen
Not so much of who I've been
Can't remember my dreams so they won't come true

Got foundations from blood I heal, I grow
But I still end up in territories unknown
Feels like I'm letting you down
But one day I'll make you proud
Keep my feet on the ground and I'll let this go

As a child
I would sleep never fearing
The way that these forests grow
Til the path can't be seen

But now I run
Cos I'm lost here and losing
Any sense of a place to go
I can't hide in my dreams

And I'm a liar at heart
Every fire I start
Ends in smoke
I can't see your face

I'm surviving the part
Where my mind breaks my heart
Can't relate
And I don't know my fate

But all of my heroes have sung about the blues
I keep imagining my friends meeting you
Proud of places I've seen
Not so much of who I've been
Can't remember my dreams so they won't come true

Got foundations from blood I heal, I grow
But I still end up in territories unknown
Feels like I'm letting you down
But one day I'll make you proud
Keep my feet on the ground and I'll let this go

And I've got a family whose love has kept me safe
For 22 years despite my jaded ways
Got a circle of friends who I would kill for and then
I've seen some eyes that are warmer than words can say

Sad to say
That I still miss them everyday
Still I know
That one day I'll be okay
