World Lines

out there, there's a mystery

but I'm never going to get it solved

when I get the chance I'll go

I'II be long, long gone

out there - there's a memory if I lose it I will carry on

then I could accept the fact that you're long long gone

i've seen the world and my heroes

take a path I couldn't follow

I never thought that anything could hurt for so long

someday - when we make the grade

take a look at all the lines we made

should we fix the ones that break?

or let them float away

out here - there is symmetry

but in nature its a common law

only love cannot be saved when its all gone wrong

seen the world and my heroes

take a path I couldn't follow

I never thought that anything could hurt for so long

throwing time out of a window

reading books about exploding stars

staring at my hands as the universe expands

sleep baby sleep

cuz the beauty is all that you'll need go on

lie baby lie

but this could only work if you try - come on

dream baby dream

but things are never quite what they seem - go on

my dear friend - will I ever see you again?

out there - there's a melody

but I'm never gonna sing that song

let me do the dance instead then I'll be long long gone
