But what if we don’t
Retrieve what’s lost to this winding road?
We always approach, we always get close,
But we never arrive, no
In every town, a choir of kids in a cul-de-sac
Live blissful days that will never come back
Never come back, never
The after-dinner glow
In the kitchens of a billion homes
Meet at the back door
Walk the field where we often go
Starry days disappear into cloudy skies and
One day I’ll learn that they’ll never come back
Never come back, never
And nobody’s ever home
The lights are never on
I strike a match — the spark won’t flame
Hands reach out but never take
And nobody’s ever home, no
So I stand in the foamy waves
Love their impossible gaze
There’s a magic in the way they come and go
With every passing day
I see myself in morning light
I must change my life
