Life: Here & Now II

The last place I looked Is the last place I couldn't find it And the first time I find it I'll know where it is

Did you think you could get very far With your complicated answers Begging for wishes in my tip jar Going straight to the bottom line There's no payout, no return on this Investment that you've been banking Oh, you're going to be pissed Reading the official statement

It's some sort of denial, I've got to believe That makes me try to forget When I really ought to grieve

Put me in charge, watch me go I can't think of anything I don't know I'm going ahead with or without the flow Just because I can Give me the reins; so I can shout 'yeehaw' Give me the wheel of this million-dollar car Up or down, I can take this far It's who I am

I can't begin to say all the things i have in here all the things that I love the things that I fear all the pain I've created all the times that I'm elated simply by seeing You smile

Hey, I've been lookin at the hills Sittin here wonderin Thinking 'bout things yet to come. Remembering the times, and all the chills Blue skies thunderin Waiting for the rain to wash the sun Yeah, I've been looking at the hills

You've got me pondering Making me think My mind is wandering over you 'n everything

Lost my Stetson in the wind On a rocky mountain climb Couldn't get it back again And eventually I'll stop trying

One more shadow meets the light Another antidote I'm gonna try False effects -- we'll have to smile As one more shadow leans against the wall

I've got the mountains here around me Like sentries about the sand Guarding everything I can see Across these lush desert lands Not letting me forget you Like stones stacked in the river sand And no matter what this all comes down to I know these rocks live past when I'm dead

I saw you walk on water; man it was more than I could anticipate -- More than I thought was necessary To crash unbelief into the face of faith

They're saying I'm just some kind of fool Enumerating how I've been taken to school Might be breaking Some unwritten rules Contemplating what Don Quixote would do

There's not a sunset that's not worth seeing Not a heartache that's not worth feeling Not a breath that's not worth breathing When I'm with you

I was sitting at the table Sipping at my coffee Nibbling at my bagel Thinking too many things Here in my head Imagination fueled by the things you said

Waiting all my life for something better than I had Thought I was always waiting on you Found out I’ve been waiting for me all along

This, yes this was the thing That I wanted flowing in my veins It's simple, but too hard to do But it flows, now that I've found you

Can you feel it happening? Does it make you feel, feel all alone? Does it echo down in your soul?

Maybe it was just too long coming Maybe I was already outcast, unclean Maybe you knew That I was through And that's why you reached for me

charging ahead like the Light Brigade running through deadly pass looking at my watch now and again hoping to find that time has stood still under Joshua's watchful gaze

last night's news was hard to take, the implications not hard to see, don't know why, for God's sake, we become something we can't be
