thinking of you
Some only get peace of mind when they can’t hear themselves think.
They’ll even give you a piece of their mind just to stop that link.
Others need the comfort that comes with what they thought.
Neither sees the lies that their self-deception has bought.
Only got so many heartbeats to do what you want to do.
You gotta find the rhythm that those beats are pounding to.
Some minds are prisms, some broken glass.
Some let you walk through colors, on others you only trespass.
Some justify with history, others with what’s to come.
Some chalk it up to mystery, others just play dumb.
Some tell you they can’t remember,
Others remember the wrong way around.
Some remember right side up, they live underground.
Some trip the light fantastic, others trip you up.
Some say, “The future is elastic plastic,” others just say “Yup.”
You only got so many sunrises, let each one shine in your heart.
Don't stop courting surprises, you can never have too many starts.
Some heads are screwed on right, others to the left.
Could be both ways add up to nothing but wholesale theft
Lots of mouths will move, tell you which way to groove.
But no one knows the right way to turn that screw.
You only got so many cups of water, only so many crusts of bread.
Try to be the dealer for those games inside your head.
You only got fifty-two chances, fifty-two weeks, fifty-two cards.
Comes that piercing lance, then rolling dice that roll so hard.
I remember your smile that blew the world away.
I’d walk many a lonesome mile for the chance to see it some day.
