Lyrics
One Year Later
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wandering the k-10
As anniversaries end,
Pondering events that brought us here.
If anyone remember when
Around the world and back again
Was a dream not quite so clear?
Overwhelms
Over the hills and away
Was not a mistake.
Did that straight and narrow,
Nailed self-righteous arrow
Get to be so decadent?
Could you trade your lessons
To have grown-up in the process?
Remarks never relent.
Learned by your examples
And we learned by your mistakes.
Argue our positions,
It's a decision that we have to make.
It's not a mistake
If we had known
What we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
Got your full attention
Over hours of speculation,
Don't you know who knows? i know.
Finally make decisions?
Finally work it out?
Finally let it go?
We're not running backwards.
Don't you know,
That we love reunion shows.
This is not a swan song:
But it goes:
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around.
If we had known what we know now:
One year later, we'd still be around,
Around, around.
