lyrics

Four years we'd come together
But I would lock myself inside
And every time I stole your heart
I felt the need to run and hide
Like a true thief in the night
A rebel with no cause
If there were good intentions
Well, I guess they were lost

To a hunger growing in me
A girl who dreamed for free
You could never tie her down
Without curiousity
Not all things come in two
Like the moments of pure bliss
But I will always remember love
Tastes like a peppermint kiss

You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road

I take pride in the homeland
The one I learned to fear
But I can't see myself returning
Year after year
So what exactly is it
That makes a girl go home
Is it the admiration of the people
Or the knowing that you're known

By a multitude of bodies
That claim they love you most
To me, the memories in this town
Slink around like ghosts
They're inside boxes, in the walls
Hidden horrors, haunted halls
I'll commemorate nostalgia
But my wanderlust, it calls

You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road

One hand out the window
And in tow, everywhere you've ever been
Before

You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away

You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road
