Be On Your Way

Just like an old man in a candy store, the riots across the street The cold greets the newborn, the neighbors that never meet No one's making plans here, no one knows for sure The way to keep it inside, it's just one more dark opening for you And whatever you do, when everything still seems new It's sure to come to something to change the rest of your life A chance to feel normal, but now you're in too deep Pacing circles around your eyes, the rest of the world's fast asleep No sense of direction, no sense at all No one there to break your fall, no one knows what's happening to you I never quite got that through I know what waits for you I know for something to do with the rest of your life Stop looking over my shoulder, it was a little bolder You're going somewhere I might be on your way This time I don't mean maybe Nowhere I'd rather be If you're coming with me I might be on your way I saw you there on the corner with my name written all over you I was trying to get your attention, it's all I ever wanted from you Who will be the victim, who will be the host Who will you take it out on for not being there when you needed them most For you, I'm coming to terms with you And you can pull me through I'm settling up with something to change the rest of my life Something to do with the rest of my life I need something to fear the rest of my life's not in vain
