lyrics

I'm standing out here on the median, watching the cars go by in both directions. I don't remember how I got here, how I wound up with so little protection. I must have followed my nose somehow. Maybe I followed somebody who knows how. Maybe I followed some sense of the wow. Look where that's gotten me now. First, you put one foot in front of the other that's called the stroll. Then you think it might be nice to get somewhere that's called a goal. When you think there's a price to pay and there is, it's a soul. That's how you wound up here. You can't go back. You're too afraid to make a mistake. You've already made more than you can take. You know you can't uncut the cake. It's time to figure out how cuz there's no point in a bow. The curtain remains up. You might as well hold out your cup, let the rain fall and fill it up.
