Lyrics

I bought my ticket for this show • But my seat in the last row • Leaves me wondering why I left my pair of glasses in the car • Aren't we all just blurry shadows? • In an out of focus photo • Just another snapshot of how life can be so hard • I'm not trying to be a poet • I don't know all the words that they do • Like a dog searching for his favorite chew • I'm just trying to reach you • Just a ship out on the ocean • Prepping for the moment • When the waves will tip us over and we're forced to swim to shore • Without food for daily rations • Or a seat cushion for flotation • We must cling tightly to each other • Taking turns and treading forward • I'm not trying to be an astronaut • I don't need space to walk through • Confused by all the voices • The world is struggling with its choices •Win the fight or lose it • That's how you play the game • We're all just blazing trails • Through the darkness, through the hail • It's the placement of the pauses that will drive momentum home • I'm not trying to be fireman • There's too much smoke to see through • I'm not trying to be selfish man • I want what I want when I do • I'm just trying to say sorry • An apology long overdue • I'm not trying to be funny • There's too much pain to undo • I'm not trying to be an old dog • Trying to teach something new •
