Halfway Back

Grey Eye Glances

So I thought I would write

To see how you have been

To fill you in on my day

And how I spend the time now

 

You remember that book you sent

Well, I really should have known

That you might grow as I've grown

Together yet alone

 

I was working my weeks

Meeting somebody else's goals

Took a good look around

Just a part of a melting whole

Exit or pay toll

 

But I don't want this

I don't need this

I don't understand at all

But I'm halfway back to feelin good

I don't take time

I don't make time

I don't answer every call

And I don't feel right

I don't sleep tight

I don't love it like I should

But I'm halfway back to feelin good

 

Lately I love to drive

Into the countryside

The many ways that I've tried

To get things off my mind

 

But there's nothing by chance, indeed

And you need not wish me well

Just don't tell and I won't tell

Or sound the broken bell

 

On the last time I left

I locked doors and forgot the lines

Now I'm fading the blues

Drawing circles on classifieds

I'm twentysome and doing just fine

 

But I don't want this

I don't need this

I don't understand at all

I don't take time

I don't make time

I don't answer every call

And I don't feel right

I don't sleep tight
