Lyrics

I'm off the stage, I'm up, I'm gone
Closed the curtain on everyone
Who thought they had my scenes indexed
Who thought that they knew what I'd do next

With lines from here, and some from there
They seem to come from everywhere but me

Looks like I found it
And if the world don't understand
Looks like I found it
And it may not be what I've got planned
But that's the kind of plan I need for me

With all my fate in front of me
Spun down tight efficiently
So I can weave a masterpiece
And get the most and give the least
But as I try it on for size
It's seeming like it's not the best fit for me

Looks like I found it
And if the world don't understand
Looks like I found it
And it may not be what I've got planned
But that's the kind of plan I need for me

Don't you think you might have been
Taking this too far
Don't you think you might have been
Trying to find the cause of all your flaws and indecisions
Or maybe you're the one afraid to break away
And now that gets you down

Looks like I found it
And if the world don't understand
Looks like I found it
And it may not be what I've got planned
But that's the kind of plan I need for me
That's the kind of song I sing for me
Smack-dab, right in front of me

So you just don't mind
Or, you just don't care
I found my best friend
I don't know where
Well you just don't see it
Well it's just plain sad
I found my best friend I ever had

Found on a bridge between Brooklyn and here
One-room apartment for getting it started

Well sometimes it hard
To be out of touch
Sometimes we watch the TV too much
But we set our place
And we set our minds
I found my best friend answered in kind

Caught between ideals we must reconcile
Crosswords and travel, our paths to entangle

So you just don't mind
Or, you just don't care
I found my best friend
I don't know where
Well you just don't see it
Well it's just plain sad
I found my best friend I ever had

Wondering where we could be in a year
Steady the rudder and head for new water

Watching the wind race the clouds as they tier
I'd bet a dinner that I'll be the winner

So you just don't mind
Or, you just don't care
I found my best friend
I don't know where
Well you just don't see it
Well it's just plain sad
I found my best friend I ever had
I found my best friend I ever had
I found my best friend I ever had
I found my best friend I...

Oh, admit it that you had to lie
Oh, admit it that you had to lie
To tell me who I am

I was thinking we were tethered tight
But I shouldn't have been thinking that things were right
I can tell that you don't agree by the comments that I've kept

I don't really want to give it up
But your silence says you want to give it up
Tell me baby how you want to feel
And I'll make you baby how you want to feel

Oh, admit it that you had to lie
Oh, admit it that you had to lie
To tell me who I am

Let's go go go go
And find out how we used to be
Let's go go go go
Pick up where we used to be
Let's go go go go

Even though we seem to share our time
It don't mean baby I can read your mind
All it means if anything are small steps I can take
Even though I got what I want
I still can't seem to give you what you want
You told me baby how you want to feel
I know baby how you want to feel

Let's go go go go
And find out how we used to be
Let's go go go go
And find out how we used to be
Let's go go go go

I woke to the sound of the thunder
I opened my eyes to the pouring rain and
Decided then and there
I had to find out where
The life in you comes from

I ran half a mile just to see you
I climbed to the top of the highest hill and
Finding nothing there
But the frozen air
And strong winds that cast me away
That had nothing to say

Here I am
What do you need?
What are you waiting for?
Find it hard
Hard to breathe
When I know you're out there
I will wait here forever
But you take too long
You take too long

I went down to speak with a wiseman
I said "can you set me on a path to go?" and he said
"To hold falling sand
Hold it in your empty hand
There's no use in casting away"

In the half-light I stood in the forest
And raised up my eyes to the evening sky and
Tried to see the stars
Tried to see that far
But they just couldn't help me at all
Even with questions so tall

Here I am
What do you need?
What are you waiting for?
Find it hard
Hard to breathe
When I know you're out there
I will look to forever
Like I'm chasing a star
Like the devil you are

That night as I lay by the river
I stared at my reflection 'til the ripples passed and
Because the earth will spin
I'll fall asleep again
And find you in dream and in song
That will never be wrong
