I’m not waking in the morning staring at the walls these days
I’m not getting out the boxes spread out all over the floor
I’ve been looking through some of them old pictures
The faces they mean nothing to me no more

And it comes with a curtain of guilt, and memories,
If I had to take them with me I’d never get up from my bed

I travel light.
You don’t travel light.
Traveling light
No no you don’t travel light.
