lyrics

Some things I wanted to say
But I couldn’t find the words
So I substituted others
Not sure what others might have heard

Some things I wanted to do
But I couldn’t find the time
I could have made myself crazy
But I didn’t want to cross that line

‘Cause when you cross the line
With the wind at your back
And the madness surrounds you
You lose sight of the track

And when you’ve crossed the line
And your mind’s ill at ease
It can knock the wind out of you
It can bring you to your knees

Some things I set out to find
But when I couldn’t remember them
I took another direction
Still I never surrendered them

Some things have taken a while
Longer than I expected
But I know that it’s better now
Since I learned to accept it

That when you cross the line
With the wind at your back
And the madness surrounds you
You lose sight of the track

And when you’ve crossed the line
And your mind’s ill at ease
It can knock the wind out of you
It can bring you to your knees
