404 – motorcycle diaries lyrics

[pre-chorus 1:]
i feel like my life is f-ckin’ over
you can’t expect an eighteen year old to know where to go
when you’ve stripped him of his support
and all he’s got is his last resorts
just last week after graduation
sarah came to me in exasperation
said, “floyd, i’m sorry to you tell so late
but i’m moving across the country next week”

[chorus:]
life
life comes to you
in tiny little fragments
you gotta piece them together
before they fall apart
and when the times get tough
we’ll just break together
i know i’m gonna find you
somewhere in the open

[verse 1:]
now i’ve only got one thing left to do
i’ve gotta make my way all the way out to you
across the interstates, across the united states
and i’ve only got a motor bike to make the race
down from this beaten home in san francisco
i begin to make the trek and leave this bl–dy wreck of my home
out in the back, i move away from all i’ve known
’cause i haven’t got a single reason to stay here alone

[pre-chorus 2:]
and i’m left to guess that this is all i’m worth
i’ve been waiting around for a chance to understand the world
but it hasn’t shown me anything to believe that
things will get better or get back on track
you are the one who always gave me hope
in humanity to throw a man a rope
when he’s beaten down from the grind
so f-ck it all if i can’t see you another time

[chorus:]
and life
life comes to you
in tiny little fragments
you gotta piece them together
before they fall apart
and when the times get tough
we’ll just break together
i know i’m gonna find you
somewhere in the open

[verse 2:]
i’m traveling downtrodden roads and highways i ain’t seen before
and every stop i take it seems i find that everyone is poor
when all the sidewalks off the streets are filled with all unshaven people
wearing rags and sleeping inside of torn up camping gear then
i know that everything is kinda f-cked up
even more than i thought before our country’s wrong and all torn up
well, and everybody’s just tryin’ to make their way through
corridors that end in brick walls and i -ssure you nothing here is new

[pre-chorus 3:]
we’ve been told and taught time and time before
that we’re living in the greatest country in the world
but i’ve always known that was nothing but a lie
and now i’ve proven that with my very eyes
on these highways and potholed intersections
the people who are making conversations on television
have never known how it is to live the life
that everybody i see is living every night

[verse 3:]
it’s a privileged lifestyle that i’m living even now
to have a vehicle that travels down the roads i’m goin’ down
and state to state, i see the same thing every time
but as i travel middle america it only goes on the decline

[pre-chorus 4:]
and that’s just how it is
that’s the way we plan to raise our kids
and so many people proud to be callous
so many people who don’t dare to make the travel

[verse 4:]
getting closer and closer to the place you now reside
wind pullin’ against my hair as the towns go by and by
every single one of them is the same as the rest
no matter where i choose to stop and book hotels to take a rest
well the one thing i keep thinking is that maybe this is it
if no one else will take the risk to knock the p-wns out and fix it
maybe you and i should run together in this next election
and throw out the corporate influence and the monetary infection
everything is f-cked and it’s our time to do something
sarah, you always told me you were in this too, you had it coming!

[pre-chorus 5:]
this is the time for change
this is the time we are gonna rearrange
everybody up there
who have stalled for so long and haven’t cared
think about all the people who have died
overseas as a result of our international crimes
and the starving families just tryin’ to make way
who are going to see a brighter day

[chorus:]
when life
life comes to you
in tiny little fragments
you gotta piece them together
before they fall apart
and when the times get tough
we’ll just break together
i know i’m gonna find you
somewhere in the open

[verse 5:]
i’m pullin’ up to your city just trying to picture
the look on your face when you see me at your window
i knock on your door and as it begins to open
i see your shocked expression and it’s all that i can notice
“floyd what the f-ck are you doing here, you think that i invited you?!
i never was your friend and i know you wanted to be with me too, you creep!
i don’t like you floyd, i don’t want you here, and i don’t want to hear you beg and plead for me
to join you on whatever ridiculous adventure you’ve got now
i don’t care about your stupid aspirations that you’re never gonna sort out
i may agree with you politically, but i’m not gonna risk my career to threaten the system
just go the f-ck away
i don’t care what you happens to you
i’m sorry about your dad
but you’re nothing to me, floyd, nothing.”

[pre-chorus 6:]
it’s all been for nothing
i felt like this was all my life was building up to
after so many years of trying to hold on
i see now that it would’ve been worth letting go
but i’ve always had a little voice in my head
telling me that i could make a difference
and whether she’ll be there with me or not
i’m gonna be at the top!

[chorus:]
and life
life came to me
in broken, shattered fragments
i cannot change the past
and i can never escape
now that the times are tough
somebody has to do something
i know i’m not the only one
who’s lost in the open
