On A Wire

You're a few years overdue.
I spent them waiting here for you.
Now your charity's refused,
I can name a penance for abuse.

Twenty four years overdue,
what kind of role model are you?
Very least learn not to do,
I think I might be over you.

Do hope I won't
Learn to make
The same mistakes,
That you would
Make me aware
That only fear,
My only hope,
Is letting go.

Went on a limb for you,
Capsized when I turned twenty two.
Did it burn as bad for you?
No bottle serves to soothe my wounds.

Do hope I won't
Learn to make
The same mistakes,
That you would
Make me aware
That only fear,
My only hope,
Is letting go.
My only hope
Is letting go.

You're a few years overdue.
I spent them waiting here for you.

I'll fawn over photographs
That you never would get to see
Swallow your own neglect
With your miserable company

Your daughter forgot her memories
Your daughter forgot her
Remember these

I'm over the precedent
Of a false security
No matter how I come back
You can never be proud of me

It's too long to stay gone
It's too long to stay gone

[Chorus]
I don't regret what words were said-
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you
I don't expect your hand in this
Under duress and influence
Watching the world keep falling around you

I'll fawn over photographs
That you never would get to see
No matter how I come back
You can never be proud of me

It's too long to stay gone
It's too long to stay gone

[Chorus]
I don't regret what words were said-
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you
I don't expect your hand in this
Under duress and influence
Watching the world keep falling around you

(around you, around you)
I don't regret what words were said
Deserved respect you never had
Watching the world keep falling around you

i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
keep following anyone
who digs a deeper hole
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
the worst just go wrong
on and on
how do you win so many enemies?
i'm open to any good news
what if the world falls in?
on the only option we knew
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
the anchor that strong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
(way too long)
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll

All we are
Is part
Of everything
It's out of our control

And I'll say
All you need to know
Is anything
That's happening is happening

All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming

Oh no
All that I know

All we are
Is part
Of everything
It's out of our control

And I'll say
All you need to know
Is anything
That's happening is happening

All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming

Keep the light on in the window
For the time that I am gone
And when this all is over
You will never be alone
Keep your head up
So you know
When you wake up
I'll be home

All the ships in the ocean
Outside my window
Under the moon
All the lights in the harbour
Keep me from sleeping
Keep me from dreaming

Oh no
All that I know

It's everything I know

woke up at eight, started a fire
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
the water is bitter cold
laid in the raft till it started moving
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
we stopped along the way
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
we'd laugh away the sunburn
as we laughed away his day
what we lost means nothing
for the memories will stay
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
driver seemed to be missing a finger
i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

would you stay for one night?
if i didn't come home?
the end of a big fight
doesn't matter anymore
the point in my midlife
situation stands
but hours pass like years
wish you were here
wish you were here
did i open an old wound?
is there something i should know?
if it's all ending so soon
how could i possibly let go?
comes to a head, this is high noon
the finale we have planned
but hours pass like years
i wish you were here
say the words so slow
say it without fear
you won't turn to go
you won't leave me here
the past is all we know
the memories are clear
i wish you were here
if i told you, were you listening?
did you know this from the start?
do the dates match exactly?
your plan when we would part?
if i won't wait for another year
i guess you'll break my heart
it's true
you already knew
so take this as a souvenir
remember me, i'm waiting here
disappointed, hanging on
stayed behind while you moved on
wish you were here
