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
