Two for Thursday

out of the dark
i called to a memory
reigned in the past
but i left my heart long ago
wasn't even listening

ran so far
from the things i know
before i could see anything

long in the dark
i was wandering
out from the past
to where i should never be

but we kids got lost
along the way
and we never knew
where we were

no,
its not where i planned to stay
but i knocked and got let in

got lost along the way
got lost along the way

so,
i guess we move on
things never turn out
the way we plan

well, this is the world
it doesn't make sense
'til the very end

sold my heart
for the things i own
never wanted anything

sold my heart
and the things i own
never got back again

got lost along the way
got lost along the way

when you barred in,

you're so patient
you got it all so worked out
you have it down to a science

but i'm trying not to try
i look like a dead man
flying a kite

'cause it only makes you upset
you tear your dress
just to make these puppets

and that only makes me nervous
i bite my nails
trying to deserve this

i can see where this is going
it's only going to be trouble

i'm such a sucker
for your kindness
i wrote your name in the back of my bible

but,
i'd like to come and go as i please
i'm not worried about the in-betweens
i'm not worried about the things i miss

this ain't that
and that ain't this

lights out when you move
you're the kindest king of cruel

the best mistake
that i've ever took

train me know
i'm a big boy

i can take it
if you want to be in my room
and we can wait for the lights to break
63 bottles that i've haven't seen

train me for lights out
train me for time
it only gets better because you never do mine

so,
i'll take it back when i want to

i'll take it back when i want to

la, la, la, la, la
