Breach in the fault and stead
Opens up the watershed
Streams come rushing in
You stand in the open door
It’s worked so many times before
Why not try it again?
But that only gets you so far
That only gets you so far
Been looking for the creature comforts
Disappointed once again
You shut yourself off; it’s best to refrain
From looking for the creature comforts
Is patience all there is?
You say you’ll wait a lifetime
But I know something’s got to give
Tighten up your grip again
If it was charm, it’s wearing thin
It’s time to loosen your hold
If you had the answers now
You wouldn’t tell me anyhow
Just say your on your own
That only gets you so far
That only gets you so far
Chorus
And it breaks my heart to hear you say
It won’t go away
Pause in the interlude
You search for some solitude
It’s what gets you through
You change your locks again
So he can’t come busting in
But it still rules your moods
Something has to happen
Something has to happen soon
Chorus
