lyrics

Middle of your life, cornered in the center
Of mice and men and money and you’ve been around enough to know
First, second, third; it’s a brave new world
Where forever is a gamble and your hand’s clutched to your shirt
Searching faces for instructions, they can’t tell you how to go
That you’ll end up where you started
You already know what you know
You already know what you know

I’d let it go if it were mine to give, if that’s how it’s supposed to be
But you left your shadow when you ran and it’s fallin’ on me
If you say you’re lost, I’ll say I never found
That anchor in deep water but no one here dragged you down
And I know that you know nothing will shadow you if you go
The thing you think you’re running from won’t chase you down
But tread lightly, I’ve got my ear to the ground

And I’m not brave cuz I’m not scared
I’m not waiting. I’m not leaving. I’m only standing guard
In this not-forsaken corner of long lost and found

And I’m up against a rock and a sad place
And around every echo I can still see your face
You’ll never lose me even if you wanted to
Cuz there’s some kind of forever in the sum of me and you
I’ve read the songbook, I know the ending
It’s never too late for a girl to dream
I know you stumble through what should have been
But I’ll wait for you to find home again

And so I’m humming as I stand here, trying not to lose my place
I’m searching faces for instructions but they all look the same
Quiet smiles of sympathy, of lost but not resolved
No one understands I’m the last verse of your song
And they don’t know that you don’t know
The equator circles back any way you go
With a whole sad world between us
I only know what I know
I only know what I know

And I’m not brave cuz I’m not scared
I’m not waiting. I’m not leaving. I’m only standing guard
In this not-forsaken corner of long lost and found
Of long lost and found
Of not lost but……..
