Along the Way

Scratching at the surface / keep the conversation light Lest I seem offensive / wouldn't want to be ostracized I don't want approval for what I say Only an honest reaction All I get are looks of confusion I guess I lost you somewhere along the way I found out some time ago that people can live with their lies Finding ways to bury bones in graves full of alibis I don't give a damn what anyone thinks Every time I try to reveal the truth All I get are blank expressions I guess I lost you somewhere along the way Bullshitting me, bullshitting you To the point where no one cares With everything so far away from where it ought to be I guess it's safer there Who knows the difference any more Is this how life is going to be from now on I could never dance, so I guess I'll take my chances I've got nothing to hide Good things come to those who want it, but no one likes what remains Like the drudge that washed up from the ocean and spoiled your finest day There, beneath the moon, you can only see the shadow Of the sun from the other side It seems the stars have blurred your vision I guess I lost you somewhere along the way
