Ealey 1999
Thinking in circles analysing conversations
I’ve had with you many hours after the fact
Is not such a healthy way of conducting this relationship
I’m tired and I’m hurting and I want my heart back
Look at the young girl skipping lightly on the pavement
See the fountain of youth simply brimming with dreams
Well that used to be me till I met with disappointment
And my dreams became reminders of unfinished schemes
Chorus
Watching our lives drift away
Clinging to hopes from other days
I’m too scared to go, and I’m too sad to stay—
So what can I do — I’m looking for clues
Now you’re watching me closely, there’s
hurt in your eyes
But you’ve seen all this coming it’s no big surprise
You’ve known me forever and seen me soar and struggle
And you’re willing me to stay here while I’m wondering
why
You’re surer than the seasons more constant than time
I know you’ll support me but the pain is still mine
I’m caught in this dark place of self absorbed doubt
But I love that you stay here while I work this out
Chorus
Bridge
Where did all my hopes go, what gave me the fright
That sent my dreams scattering, made my courage take flight
The years rush on by me elusive as ever
Gotta take heart and grab a chance, step back in the light...
Chorus
