So you think you’ve got it all worked out
I hope that you find your peace of mind
If you don’t want to let me know what it’s about
I’d be glad to read your mind, yeah that’s fine
We’ve been going nowhere
I guess that is somewhere to start
To bridge the distance between the poles that mark
The space between us
Now you get so brave when the lights appear
And name your price before you’ll make a sacrifice
And as a year becomes another wasted tear
You become so violet when the roses pass you by
(chorus)
I put my footprints in your sand
You wrote your name in my concrete
I watched the ocean wash my steps away
And now you never walk down my street
So why must I keep remembering what you looked like
The last time that we said goodbye
So now it’s the promise that still haunts me
Unresolved in a stack of letters left unsent
And all that’s left is the hope that I might meet you
Somewhere in the world off difference between if and when
(chorus)
