Turn every painting to me my friend,
Again, and again, and again,
I am shown an image of my hands
reaching out for some blurry symbol.
Again, and again, and again,
Something escapes me,
it's just beyond the fence.
I can see it, but I can't say.
I am all I am,
All I am isn't always around.
Feel free to find me.
Taking the back roads back my friend,
But it's been said again and again.
Tried my best, but I couldn't write my life into songs
Said the pen to my empty head.
Again, and again, and again,
Something illusive pats me on the back,
Reminds me who I am.
I am all I am,
All I am isn't always around.
Feel free to find me.
Got enough thoughts to fill the ocean,
But I can't find one that works,
So I'll take you as far as I can,
Yeah I'll take you as far as I can.
