Lifelines

I saw you sleeping on the couch tonight
You know it serves you right
Makes you luckier than I
All the colors in the room have changed
We painted yesterday
Brother, I discovered you
We're pushing on
We're passing through
And it won't be long
Till I walk with you
Tonight I'm down
But I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures
Of the album you forgot about
Isn't it a shame?
The times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same
We're never where we wanna be
But that's ok with me
It's just the way it is, it seems
It feels like make believe
But you're my history
Brother, I rediscovered you and
We're pushing on
We're passing through
And it won't be long
Till I walk with you
Tonight I'm down
But I'm inside out
Staring at the pictures
Of the album you forgot about
Isn't it a shame?
The times have changed
But isn't it strange?
Lifelines stay the same
'Round and 'round
Can't believe my heart has waited this long
All along we've been children
In a cold world where wonder was lost
Every day
And if love was a compass
Oh, I have lost my way
