The Arrival

[Verso 1] G I've got friends here in Toronto Who wanna move away Cadd9 They all say it with a sparkle "Maybe the UK" Am But I've got friends out there in London Who say the very same Dadd4 Say they wanna live abroad Where it isn't wet and gray G I've got friends out in the city Who work away like slaves Cadd9 'Cause the floor is made of marble And it's a reputable name Am And they look upon the dreamers Romanticize the chase Dadd4 But I know a couple dreamrs And they all wish they got paid G I've got frinds who've never dated And wanna be in love Cadd9 They're on every application Tryna find the one Am But the couples back from high school Have just now broken up Dadd4 Said they want the space to grow Learn to be alone for once G And I used to be so tiny I'd beg for me to grow Cadd9 Now I'm well into my twenties And I'm far away from home Am Somehow, I think I got smaller The more that I have grown Dadd4 I got everything I wanted But I'm still left wanting more {Hook} Seems like G We're all just contradictions, in affliction Cadd9 Over all of our small decisions Am That we've made up till now We're always wondering how Dadd4 Things could've been different If we chose a different route G And everyone is placing bets On these different destinations, thinking Cadd9 Once they get to these places Am Then they'll figure it out But I'm left wondering now Dadd4 If we'll ever arrive Or if they can be found? [Verso 2] G Now it's almost graduation I don't know what to do Cadd9 I don't wanna face the world But I am also sick of school Am I don't wanna be employed But I don't wanna be poor Dadd4 I want routine that is stable But I'm always craving more G But I look upon my mother Who tells us that we're fine Cadd9 And my tired looking father And my brother's fragile mind Am And I come to a conclusion That it's not a place or time Dadd4 It's in every conversation That I hold with them That I know I've arrived
