Be On Your Way

Just like the old man in a candy store

The riots across the street

The cold greets the newborn

The neighbors that never meet

No one's making plans here

No one knows for sure

The way to keep it inside

It's just one more door opening for you

And whatever you do

When everything still seems new

It's sure to come to something to change the rest of your life

For a chance to feel normal

But now you're in too deep

Paint some light circles around your eyes

The rest of the world's fast asleep

No sense of direction, no sense at all

No one there to break your fall

No one knows what's happening to you

I never quite got that through

I know what waits for you

And no one calls with something to do with the rest of your life

Stop looking over my shoulder, it wasn't a little boulder

You're going somewhere I might be on your way

This time I don't mean maybe

Nowhere I'd rather be going

If you're coming with me

I might be on your way

I saw you there on the corner

With my name written all over you

I was trying to get your attention

It's all I ever wanted from you

Who will be the victim?

Who will be the host?

Who will you take it out on for not being there

When you needed them most for you?

I'm coming to terms with you

And you can pull me through

I'm settling up with something to change the rest of my life

Something to do with the rest of my life

I need something to feel the rest of my life's not in vain
