lyrics

Starting yesterday, I’m picking up my things
If I can find them underneath the fallen leaves
I don’t even know how much I need you when you’re here
Didn’t even know how much I’d miss you when you’re gone

Where the beaches turn to water from the sand
How will I know where I can swim and where I can’t?
Couldn’t you have written down the rules so I would know?
Couldn’t you have told me I can’t bear to see you go?

Like a kid on the run after the fire burns out
But getting along
A good momma got to clip her baby’s toes
A good sun got to keep his planets close, I know
I can move freely now, but I don’t know which way to go

Oh, but half of the fun of getting the fireworks out
Is cheering ‘em on (but it looks just like a bomb out in the sky)
Waiting for the melody to come to me
I’ll die if I keep working for the company, I know

Like a kid on the run after the fire burns out
But getting along (it looks just like a god out in the sky)
Pack a pad of paper for my private thoughts
Am I fit to fight the battles that I thought I fought? Oh, no

I can move freely now, but I don’t know which way to go
