our course is coarsely plotted
on a map of shoddy dreams
but hindsight will reveal
time's moving faster than it seems
maybe i'm just selfish
i've got nothing left to give
i'm still a foolish boy
i've got a lifetime left to live
and i was swinging like a madman
not quite sure of what i felled
and i might never understand
exactly what it was i'd held
and now i watch the sun descending
from this weathered gravel roof
and i recall the sky once told me
that all lies lead to the truth
so i'll look the other way
and i'll turn a deafened ear
and i'll talk of distant lands
-
pretend i was never here

reality beads on my skin
like a slicker in the rain
but now i feel it soaking in
and i begin to feel the pain
i fight the urge to run to you
this is how it has to be
we've gotta step away right now
we're just too close to see
and i was swinging like a madman
not quite sure of what i felled
and i might never understand
exactly what it was i'd held
and now i watch the sun descending
from this weathered gravel roof
and i recall the sky once told me
that all lies lead to the truth
so i'll look the other way
and i'll turn a deafened ear
and i'll talk of distant lands
pretend i was never here
and i'll look the other way
and i'll turn a deafened ear
and i'll talk of distant lands
-
pretend i was never here
