It's the rush I feel heading to the station
when looking towards my next adventure
It's the snowflakes that melt on my hair and boots
and seep into the concrete as I dash down the bustling streets of Chicago
It's the Christmas music that rings from the lobby

as I watch them pass from my window seat
It's the frost on my car and cold, bitter air on my cheeks
as I venture into the dark and lonely lot, departing the station
It's the feeling of nostalgia I get, when I finally reach my destination
that makes me realize
what a wanderer
I really
