It's a long way down my dear
Somehow the gardens overgrown again
And I'm not good at making myself clear
We can't stop now or it's the end
I can't recall how we were before
I'd be lying if I told you
Open up your little book filled with your chores
Eat your greens and sleep into the eve
And tell me again yeah how it all works
Cause somehow I need time to rehearse
The look on my face
When you say you feel that way
And you stare blankly and say
I don't know why you came
I don't know why you came
And I chose a road
It filled with fear
Deep down the failure grips a hold of me
And I'm not good at leaving what is here
Blinded by the business I can't see
And I feel a wave of the newness we crave
The flightdeck, the long-haul are calling me
Open up your little book filled with your plans
Faded jeans and bags beneath your lashes
And tell me again yeah how it all works
Cause somehow I need time to rehearse
The look on my face
When you say you feel that way
And you stare blankly and say
I don't know why you came
I don't know why you came
I don't know why you came
