Saw you sleeping on the couch tonight
though it serves you right
makes you luckier than I
all the colors in the room have changed
the painting yesterday
brother I discover you
weÕre pushing on
weÕre passing through
it wonÕt be long
'til I walk with you
tonight IÕm down
IÕm inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
isnÕt it a shame
times have changed
but isnÕt it strange
lifelines stay the same
weÕre never where we want to be
but thatÕs ok with me
its just the way it is we say
it feels like maybe
but youÕre me history
brother IÕve rediscovered you
weÕre pushing on
weÕre passing through
it wonÕt be long
'til I walk with you
tonight IÕm down
IÕm inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
isnÕt it a shame
times have changed
but isnÕt it strange
lifelines stay the same
round and round
canÕt believe my heart is waiting this long
all along weÕve been children
in a cold world where wonder was
lost everyday
if love was a compass
oh IÕve lost my way
