lyrics

I've been accused of seldom crossing boundaries
By those who say they've seen the other side
Tried my hand again
But I got too close for comfort
Can't leave the safety net of coastal tides

Mixed signals coming through
The magnetic field of blue
Each day is just a new way to give in
If I ever venture past, it might just be the last time
That I'll be forgiven for my sins
That I'll be forgiven for my sins

I dreamt that I was back in eastern Missouri
The muggy summer air still slowed me down
And it's been ages since I've seen the Mississippi
Some nights I still fear that I might drown

I always felt unsettled being landlocked
It seemed like every door needed a key
Made a habit of leaving without notice
It's a hesitance I thought would stay for free

Mixed signals coming through
The magnetic field of blue
Each day is just a new way to give in
If I ever venture past, it might just be the last time
That I'll be guilty of that sin
That I'll be guilty of that sin

It's hard to conjure up alternate endings
To a story that was all but set in stone
'Cause now the road is narrower and bending
Who's to say we're not better off alone?

Mixed signals coming through
The magnetic field of you
Each night is an invite to give in
If I ever venture past, it might just be the last time
That I'll be guilty of that sin
That I'll be guilty of that sin
That I'll be guilty of that sin

(Lyrics by Tyler Meloan)
