I left with a backpack and a one-way ticket stub

No wallet in my pocket, just the dust off every road

The border guard he asked me what I'm running from

I told him nothing, sir — I'm walking toward the world

I slept in Osaka station with the monks and rain

Traded stories for supper in a Moroccan yard

Every city wears a face but none of them are mine

I keep moving 'cause the answer's always one town on

I'm the endless traveler, no money in my hand

Just the whole wide spinning world to understand

They build their towers, count their gold, and still they cannot see

The road keeps giving everything for free

An old man on a riverboat said son, you'll wear out thin

I said the road gives back the things the banks never lend

A stranger's fire, a shared loaf, a language I can't speak

The kindness of the poor is the only wealth I keep

I'm the endless traveler, no money in my hand

Just the whole wide spinning world to understand

They build their towers, count their gold, and still they cannot see

The road keeps giving everything for free

No map, no plan, no name they know me by

The horizon is the only thing I own

When they ask me where I'm going, I just smile and say

Everywhere — until I understand this life

I'm the endless traveler, no money in my hand

Just the whole wide spinning world to understand

And when I finally get it, when the meaning comes to me

I'll leave it on the road for someone else to read

Keep walking, keep walking

The world is free, the world is free

Keep walking, keep walking

The answer's always one town on

Old swing set creaking at the edge of town

Rust and rain and nobody around

I push my shoes into the dirt and fly

The whole of heaven rolling slowly by

The hours are a river I don't count

Every arc a lifetime going out

Gravity just hums a patient tune

I'm the only number in the room

Swinging while infinity passes by

A child, a chain, a sliver of the sky

One moment like a glimpse of golden light

A tunnel that we're going through tonight

Forever, forever, we swing into forever

No beginning where the stars were born

No last hour when the light gets worn

I'm small enough to hold it all at once

Big enough to never ask it where it runs

Swinging while infinity passes by

A child, a chain, a sliver of the sky

One moment like a glimpse of golden light

A tunnel that we're going through tonight

Forever, forever, we swing into forever

Slow down, slow down

The void can wait, it knows my name

Slow down, slow down

Enlightenment is just this frame

The chain, the wind, the fading sound

Of everything that spun me around

Swinging while infinity passes by

A moment of enlightenment, no goodbye

The tunnel has no start and has no end

And we go through it all again, again

Forever, forever, we swing into forever

Passes by... passes by...

We go through it forever

Passes by... passes by...

Midnight glass, the city burns in orange down below

Chrome doors close, the panel's dead where numbers used to go

Past the thirteenth floor it hums, a neon spine ascending

Committee lights dissolve like static, never-ending

Glass elevator, take me higher than the signal towers climb

Ride the arpeggio through stars where time don't keep time

No beginning, no last floor, the count runs out of sight

Infinity in every pane — and the void is turning night

Analog heart, the tapes still roll in the machine below

A million counting moments that will never let me go

I press my hand against the glass, the cosmos presses back

Every number ever spoken dissolving into black

No buttons... no floors... no destination

Just the pulse... forever... pure sensation

The numbers had no start — they'll have no end

I let go of the count... and the void lets me in

Glass elevator, lift me past where any signal's been

Ride the arpeggio through stars, the void is closing in

No beginning, no last floor, no name, no time, no light

Infinity in every pane — and the void is infinite

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

You

La la la la la la la la

Delete me, delete me

Live, live, live, live internet
