Mason Jennings Tourist song lyrics

Is who you are now, who you want to be now

Or are you someone you don't wanna be?

Is what you wanted really what you wanted

Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

Mamma, there's a hole in the life we've made

Thousands of people laughing in the shade

Pointing their fingers at the mess we've made

There's a tourist in every heart that just wants to say

But winter's coming and it's time to go

It's already over, we just didn't know

They're stacking up wood where the flowers grow

There's a tourist in every heart that can't wait to go

Is who you are now, who you want to be now

Or are you someone you don't wanna be?

Is what you wanted, what you really wanted

Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

Honey, there's a boat and it waits for us

Somewhere there's a time and a place for us

It could be perfect if it wasn't for us

Mamma, we're in love with a memory

A perfect dream of how it used to be

When our hair was windy and our nights were free

There's a tourist in every heart sees what it wants to see

Is who you are now, who you want to be now

Or are you someone you don't wanna be?

Is what you wanted really what you wanted

Or is it nothing like you dreamed? Dreamed
