Lyrics

“ONCE YOU’VE STARTED DOWN THE ROAD,” SHE SAID
“YOU’RE FOREVER LOOKING BACK, AFRAID OF WHAT YOU’VE FLED”
I SAID, “I DON’T SEE IT LIKE YOU DO
“IF YOU DETACH YOURSELF, FEAR CAN’T FOLLOW YOU”

PROXIMITY PUSHING US APART
WE CAN’T FATHOM WHAT WE CANNOT CHART

I SAID, “THE HORIZON’S JUST A LINE
“THAT YOU CAN SEE BEYOND IF YOU STEP OUTSIDE YOUR MIND”
“MY NEXT STEP IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS,” SHE SAID
“A MIND UNOCCUPIED IS A NEEDLE WITH NO THREAD”

DELUSION REIGNS SUPREME
WE CAN’T RECONCILE OUR SEPARATE DREAMS

DESPERATE FOR SOME CONTACT
WE’RE TOO WILLING TO AMEND THE FACTS

“AND WHEN YOU COME BACK AROUND,” SHE SAID
“THE STREETS DON’T WALK THE SAME, THE AIR IS DAMP WITH DREAD”
I SAID, “CHANGE WILL WORK ITS WAY ON YOU
“DISTORT THE THINGS YOU SAY, OBSTRUCT YOUR POINT OF VIEW”

“RACING TO STAND STILL
“WE’LL FIND NOTHING TO RELIEVE THE CHILL,”
I SAID
