When you find what matters is what you feel
It arrives, and it disappears
Driving down sunny 44 highway
There`s a beach there known for cancer waiting to happen
When you`re out across the county line
The news travels slower than a ten-second buzz
And only you`ll ever know
`Cause day by day it disappears
Only you`ll ever know
And it`s hard enough soaking up billboard signs
You scorch and drown alive
Never knowing why
The levee gates are open wide
There`s a cough in the water, and it`s running into town.
Bright eyes, don`t change, stay the same
There must be an answer for what keeps it going on
But only you`ll ever know
`Cause day by day it disappears
Only you`ll ever know
