lyrics

there are ranges of mountains of indecision
there are miles deep of oceans of defeat
that we left here back in the winter
and we will surely meet them
on our way back round next year

there are days I think I am a real disaster
there are many nights that I can’t sleep at all
like a renegade train I just keep moving faster
and everyone keeps watching and turns pale
for they know that I’ll soon derail

well I guess I should’ve known I couldn’t force it
all this time it was just waiting to be found
even so, it’s not as if I could divorce myself from it
so I’ll keep waiting til the fruit is ripe
I’ll wait until the time is right

so we try and we prevail
if we give ourselves some room to fail
and we can learn to love it all
if we can learn to love at all
