Someone I Know

Buddy, old friend
Let me join your conversation
With the ebb and tide
And oddities of life
Laying it out
You retrace a constellation
If you had a choice
Had a hand for you to fight
So much time
And you’re out of inspiration
You’re shrugging mildly
As you scrawl between the lines
What is the sense
In reaching a destination
If you don’t have a say
What the ride is all about
Are you letting go (oh-hoh)
Of someone you know (how so)
World in your hands
But it wasn’t much fun
Whispers and all
There’s a man on the run
I’m lying dormant in this place
While everybody goes to town
I’ll be casting off its pace
And if I’d show I’ll be around
When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time
Home from a day
You would lean against your window
Sun in your eyes
Yet you’re feeling out of line
Tell me about it:
Do you hide out in the echoes?
Then another morning
Still recurring by design
Are you letting go (oh-hoh)
Of someone you know (how so)
World your hands
But it could have been fun
Whiskers and all
There’s a cat on the run
I’m lying dormant in this place
While everybody goes to town
I’ll be casting off its pace
And if I’d show I’ll be around
When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time
When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
