lyrics

Walking down the line

Bad decisions, oh where do you start?
Time and money and affairs of the heart:
let it go, or let it tear you apart,
trying to hold back time,
just walking down the line.

Things you wish you’d said,
things you might have heard,
the well-intentioned and the
downright absurd -
they flap around you like
those bad news birds,
trying to hold back time,
just walking down the line.

The kind of luck you want
just comes and goes -
slips through your fingers
and between your toes -
trying to hold back time,
Just walking down the line

Some you lose and some you win.
But we’re still the people that
we’ve always been,
so just lie here, til the light comes in,
trying to hold back time,
just walking down the line.
