Don't try to explain I've been here before The phone calls and the letters of loved ones Always prying to and implying that when The stormy sides of dreams arrive I'm feeling the consequences Hit I've tried to escape I'm drifting from shore The bough breaks from the weight of loved ones Who leave us gliding forward and flying out When the sunny sides of dreams have Died I'll feel the consequences Lift I've tried to explain But the right words feel wrong Big mistakes feel the well when the love is gone And now there is crying and good-bying No I've had enough I've had too much The feeling strains me I've had too much This feeling drains me With so much at stake I'm leaving behind the shortcuts To find The long way home
