lyrics

still on the lam, her soft whisper is
indication that the season's shift
may bring about the end of the war
it's still too early to talk

start in the spring and end in the fall
your shoes reflect your bad posture
they're worn in a way that suggests they'll hold up
so long as you correct your faults

you always seem to end up right where you were
it all seems so different, you wonder how long it's really been
something has happened, you are where you are
nothing will be how it was

patience is taut, your luck is on high
neither factor is showing signs
of where their values want to reside
for now you just exist
tomorrow you'll be a figment
in the periphery
of a passersby
who's watched the spring of your life unwind
