On the banks of the deep end   Where your soul is your best friend   Searchin' for a reason to go astray      Wild dreams turn to nightmares   Silver clouds turn to golden stairs   Everything that you used to know   Is slippin' away, yea      Here I've got my puzzle piece   Only got it for a short term lease   No time for askin'   No goin' back to get hurt   I take a little from the mixture   Try to put it into the picture   Got a place where you're standin'   Dig your shoes into the dirt      Tryin' hard to get back   Runnin' on the stones   Put you on my shoulders   We can be the only one   See the world's still spinnin' 'round   Gettin' dizzy when we look      There's a reason to be home   There's a feelin' when you smile   But it feels like it might take over   This feelin' deep inside   And there's a distance down the line   Far away from the station   We can leave it all behind   On a rollin' creation      Sit away from the window   Who will lock the door?   Can't you learn from the last time   And the time before   See the world's still spinning 'round   Gettin' dizzy when we look      Got to leave town   To see yellow flowers bloom   Sun goin' down   It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon      On the banks of the deep end   Twistin' as a riverbed   Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yea      Couldn't hire twenty-five men   To do what the men couldn't do   Jus' the sound of his walkin'   Split the whole damn town in two   Into the night full of shadows   He still walks when the thunder rolls   This river ain't shallow   Reminds us that the bell still tolls      Bears in the kitchen   Tigers on T.V.   The singer's pretendin'   This song's for me   See the world's still spinnin' 'round   Gettin' dizzy when we look      Took a wrong turn down by the waterline   Heard they had to drag you off the sand   Find a dune and the wind will miss you   Hold on to a piece of dry land   Got to hold on to a piece of dry land   Got to hold on to a piece of dry land      On the banks of the deep end   Where I lost my best friend   Searchin' for a reason to go astray
