Every
sunshine
made my soul
darker

Runnin' up
and down
white lines
made heart aches
and hard times

turn out
to be my
mile markers

Asphalt
and
mirrors

had me
layin' down lines

Weeping,
"I don't care"

in the middle
of nowhere

In a time

after time
Now...
I'm checking
my back trail

on a road map
of breakdowns

On the edge,
where there's dragons,
you stood,
yellow flaggin'
and showed me
that there was
a turn 'round

You gave me
a rest stop
to ease my weary mind

I like it 'round here

You knocked me
out of gear

in a time after time

No, I can't explain
how you're changing my mind
Treating the pain
so gentle and kind

Now, go back to sleep

I'm just laying down lines

'bout how you rescued me
in a time after time


I like to daydream
and I love to wander

Most of the time,
my body or mind,
you're probably find
over yonder

I spend my tomorrows
chuggin' Yesterdays' Wine

My many faces
all come from places
in a time
after time

I'm full of myself
and I like to flirt

No harm intended
still leaves hearts unmended
making the both of us hurt

I'll try to do better

That's my only vow

I'd be dead without you
There's something about you
that makes me want
NOW

No. I can't explain
how you're changing my mind
Treating the pain
so gentle and kind

Now, go back to sleep

I'm just laying down lines

'bout how you rescued me

from a time
after time
