Our course is coarsely plotted  On a map of shoddy dreams,  But hindsight will reveal  Time's moving faster than it seems.  Maybe I'm just selfish,  I've got nothing left to give.  I'm still a foolish boy,  I've got a lifetime left to live,    And I was swinging like a madman,  Not quite sure of what I felled,  And I might never understand  Exactly what it was I'd held,  And now I watch the sun descending  From the weathered gravel roof,  And I recall the sky once told me  That all lies lead to the truth.    So I'll look the other way,  And I'll turn a deafened ear,  And I'll talk of distant lands,  Pretend I was never here.    Reality beads on my skin  Like a slicker in the rain,  But now I feel it soaking in  And I begin to feel the pain.  I fight the urge to run to you,  This is how it has to be.  We've gotta step away right now,  We're just too close to see,    And I was swinging like a madman,  Not quite sure of what I felt,  And I might never understand  Exactly what it was I'd held,  And now I watch the sun descending  From the weathered gravel roof,  And I recall the sky once told me  That all lies lead to the truth.    So I'll look the other way,  And I'll turn a deafened ear,  And I'll talk of distant lands,  Pretend I was never here,  And I'll look the other way,  And I'll turn a deafened ear,  And I'll talk distant lands,  Pretend I was never here
