Now I walk alone
That's the way it's always been
Though I didn't know
Though I like to pretend
Arms at my sides
No one to hold my hand
Or put me in a bind
Or lie and say they understand
No need to close my eyes
The dream goes on inside my mind
Turn the light off
I don't even notice
I can't make you map your mind
I'd be lucky if I could see two miles
In front of my outstretched hands
But if I know no need I know where I am
He said he'd rather be
On the long road with me
But the tires needed air
He took a detour with her
Then she got that limp
She hitched a ride with him
Can I just say
I suddenly don't feel so great
Being the favorite?
What do you mean anyway?
No use for circus shoes
I throw them across the room
I don't need any costume
Not where I'm going
I can't make you watch your step
I'd be lucky if I could just forget it
And follow my outstretched hands
If I know no need I know where I am
One step forward and two steps back
I'm unmoored and I can't keep track
I don't expect you to come with me
So it's a good thing I'm good company
I daily do chores
Never mind the monster
Gotta be a bit mundane
If you want to get the ghost off your train
Follow the thread
Through the maze in your head
Trusting it to lead
Where the walls move free
No need to lift my poor feet
Up above my sore knees
If there's gravity here
I don't even notice
I can't make you follow me
I'd be lucky to follow my own feet
They follow my outstretched hands
If I know no need I know where I am
I can't make you go my way
Ask me where it is and I can't say
Still I think it's time I go
No need to tell me what I already know
