Bigger Mistake

BIGGER MISTAKE

AS I STOOD AT THE FORK
ONE FORK IN THE ROAD
NOT KNOWING WHICH WAY TO TURN
PRETTY MUCH FROZEN, FOR QUITE A LONG TIME
LISTENED TO A TICKING CLOCK BURN

BURNED THE TIME
THAT WAS A BIGGER MISTAKE
STEP ON THE GAS OR THE BRAKE?
WAITING TO GIVE OR TO TAKE

I SAT ON MY HANDS
TIL THE FEELING WAS GONE
THEN WONDERED HOW THAT COULD BE
CHANCE CAME A KNOCKIN, THEN PASSED RIGHT ON BY
GALLEON SHIPS ON A SEA

RIGHT ON BY
THAT WAS THE BIGGER MISTAKE
NEVER FELT ANY HEARTBREAK
WHEN SLEEP FEELS THE SAME AS AWAKE

ALL INDECISION, IT PLACES A CURSE
MOSTLY MAKES EVERYTHING QUITE A BIT WORSE
SIT ON A FENCE, IS THAT WHAT I DO?
NOTHING TO EVER REVUE

BACK AT THE FORK, SAME ONE AS BEFORE
LOOKING THE SAME AS IT DID
CAN’T EVER CHANGE IF I DON’T EVER MOVE
AM I A MAN OR A KID?

WITH YOU IN MIND

I NEVER SEE THE WIND
BUT I CAN FEEL WHEN IT’S A BLOWING
CAN’T TOUCH THE PLACE I BEEN
LIKE A RIVER FLOWING

THE THREADS OF CONNECTION
BECOMING THE TIES OF A LIFELINE
THEY PULL IT ALL TOGETHER
AND POINT ME TOWARD THE SIGNS

WITH YOU IN MIND

I NEVER SEE A HEART
BUT I CAN FEEL WHEN IT’S A BEATING
WANNA HOLD ON TO THIS LOVE
HOPE THAT IT AIN’T FLEETING

THE THREADS OF CONNECTION
BECOMING THE TIES OF A LIFELINE
THEY PULL IT ALL TOGETHER
AND POINT ME TOWARD THE SIGNS

WITH YOU IN MIND

WHEN YOU ARE IN MY MIND
LIVING’S GOOD
AND EVERYTHING JUST FITS
LIKE IT SHOULD

SO ARE ALL THESE THINGS CONNECTED?
A MILLION PARTS IN A LIFELINE
BUT WHEN I’M BY MYSELF
I RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS

WITH YOU IN MIND

FLESH AND BLOOD

IT’S NOT A GLOW ON A SCREEN
IT’S RIGHT HERE TO BE SEEN
WITH THE TOUCH, TOUCH OF A HAND
BRING SOME LIFE, UNDERSTAND

WE BEEN LYING FACE DOWN IN THE MUD
TIME TO PLACE A BET ON FLESH AND BLOOD

THERE IS A BEEP FROM SOME DEVICE
MAKES ‘EM RUN ROUND LIKE MICE
IS IT FUN THIS MAKE-BELIEVE
SHORT SLEAVE SHIRT S’GOT NO SLEAVE

EVERY FALL WON’T FINISH WITH A THUD
AND ALL THIS WATER LOOKING LIKE A FLOOD
A COUPLE COWS JUST CHEWING ON SOME CUD
NEVER GIVING UP ON FLESH AND BLOOD

FLESH AND BLOOD, ALWAYS GIVEN
LIKE A BUD, IT’S BOUND TO GROW
KEEP ON FEELING ALL THE SENSES
HELPS YA DEALING WITH THE FLOW

WE BEEN LYING FACE DOWN IN THE MUD
ALL THIS WATER LOOKING LIKE A FLOOD
EVERY FALL WON’T FINISH WITH A THUD
GONNA COME ON DOWN TO FLESH AND BLOOD

ONLY FLESH AND BLOOD
