With progress comes problems
With wisdom comes age
With lessons come learning
Em *
I took a walk
It got me thinking
Left foot, Right foot
Smiling, Blinking
Breath out, Breath in
Somehow linking
VERSE x1
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
Lost and the found and the north to the south
BRIDGE-2 x1
And the corners
To the circle in my mind
Chorus x1
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
INTRO x2
My hands they are empty
But they are clean
I'm poor but I'm healthy
Em *
I took a walk to the land's end
Thinking 'bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
VERSE-END x1
And the pages that I've turned
VERSE x3
And it seems to me that we all love the chase
But once we're caught we feel encased
Behind bars of love and trust
Uprooted with drunken lust
By people
People just like us
BRIDGE-2 x1
Yeah people
People just like us
Chorus x1
You may find that the gate has been locked
When we come back down to what we really are
Retrace the footprints of the path that is lost
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
VERSE x3
I took a walk to the station
Lost in my imagination
Having private conversations with myself
And I'm just stumbling 'round
And I wait for the sound
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
BRIDGE-3 x1
People say I'm just bumming around
But I've had both my ears to the ground
VERSE x3
