LIFELINES

I saw you sleeping on the couch tonight
You know it serves you right

Makes you luckier than I
All the colors in the room have changed
The painting yesterday
Brother, I've discovered you

We're pushing on
We're passing through
And it won't be long until I walk with you
Tonight I'm down, I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about

Isn't it a shame?
Times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same, the same

We're never where we wanna be
That's ok with me
"It's just the way it is" we say
It feels like make believe
But you're my history
Brother, I've rediscovered you

Round and round
Can't believe my heart is waiting this long
All along we've been children
In a cold world where wonder was lost everyday
If love was a compass
Oh, I've lost my way
"
