Sunsets got me thinking
Every day comes to an end
'Who are you?' the caterpillar asked
Spring has made an offer
I did not expect
I am used to ever second guess
I know nothing, I know nothing, no
I am pacing, just to stay afloat
afloat
I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
and I'm not there
It escaped my notice
Strange, how could it be?
I stare at the pavement seven days a week
Spring turned the alarms on
Shifted all the clocks
Circled back and forth through midnight walks
I know nothing, I know nothing, no
I am pacing, bound to stay afloat
Afloat
And I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
and I'm not there
Oh spring
What can you bring?
Oh spring
Would you change a thing?
And I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
And I

Steeplechase

My idea of fun might not be ideal
Your idea of fun is different than mine
I am held back by so many layers
I can manage one step at a time
It took a sharp turn
Against plastic saddles
And off to the races, off to the chases
In the unknown
I'm not certain I completely get it
but I give it a go
My idea of fun is under the weather
In a metal shield under the sun
I am held back underneath the surface
I regret it half a dozen times
It took a sharp turn
Against plastic saddles
And off to the races, off to the races
In the unknown
I'm not certain I completely get it
A beautiful storm
A rapid home run, oh so quickly
I forgot to breath
It took a sharp turn
Against plastic saddles
And off to the races, off to the races
In the unknown

Patience is the way of the noble man
Grace is all I know
Makeshift ideologies
Are clustering the door
And I am passing by
I'm walking through
And standing by the corner
Hands are tied to the windmill
And I can't lose control
I am dreading the damage, afraid of the fall
All I got is this basic pattern
That's all I got, I try to keep it together
Nights are lack of clarity
Pace, I keep it slow
Rented dreams and discoveries
Are laid out on the floor
And I am passing time
I'm getting through
Replaying older records
Hands are tied to the windmill
And I can't lose control
I am dreading the damage, afraid of the fall
All I got is this basic pattern
That's all I got, I try to keep it together
I try to keep it together
I try to keep it together
I try to keep it together
Hands are tied to the windmill
And I can't lose control
I am dreading the damage, afraid of the fall
All I got is this basic pattern
That's all I got, I try to keep it together

Manhattan
I consider you my old friend
I'll hold on to you until the end
I don't know if you can speak my language
I don't think that anybody can
But I think sometimes you do, Manhattan
I'd say I know you pretty well
I wonder if you know my name
I keep on passing moving trains
I keep on asking too many questions
What's the point of this narrative?
I'll come back for the negatives
Manhattan
I wish I could be as effortless as you
As classy as a fool can be
I don't know if one could ever make it
I don't know where this is going next
I wish I could get some rest, Manhattan
I look for clues across your streets
I hold on to your transient thrills
I keep on passing moving trains
I keep on asking too many questions
What's the point of this narrative?
I'll come back for the negatives
I hold on to your brightest moments
But it's getting cold
I'll keep on passing moving trains
I'll keep on asking too many questions
What's the point of this narrative?
Will I come back if I ever leave?
I'll keep on passing moving trains
I'll keep on asking too many questions
What's the point of this narrative?
Will I come back if I ever leave?
