Avoiding The Swerve

Edna's Goldfish

Time slipped right by me

It didn't stop to take a look

Everybody knows my story,

It's wriiten on the pages

Of an open book



I thought I had my defenses

I fell victim to sleeping all day

Got caught up in false pretenses

Can't let that get in my way



Chorus

But I can drive all night

To get away from what I saw

Another time, another place, another day...

I take a look back at my better half

Or should I say at the other six?

I can look back a laugh at mistakes

That I know that I just cannot fix



I thought I had my defenses

I'm pretending to sleep all day

Got mixed up in my intentions

Can't let that get in my way



Chorus.....



To get away, to get away...

Another place, another day, another time.

Slips through my mind
