lyrics

All of your life changes are the turnings of the pages of a book .
Characters and story lines hide out and find the time to develop everywhere else you look.
Each chapter ends with laughter, hope or disaster always ending faster than it took.
While your fair-weather friends are trading trends and trying to claim your work.

Sub-plots and vacant lots occupied what I thought was white noise.
The sound that I was hearing started appearing to sound more like a voice.
But I was over analyzing something symbolizing nothing at all,
For the chapter I was reading was just graffiti on a wall.

Been in and out of a fog, drowning out the monologue bogged down in my head.
Ease my mind with the time it takes and we can our make ends meet in the end.
The dialogue came naturally to both you and me when we first met.
It was knowing you were showing a side you often hide instead.

Comedy and irony fight over me and hide around the corner with a twist.
Growing up and growing pains remind me of the trains that I missed.
I like the days better when they roll together like a well written poem.
I'd be home sooner if I'd sooner be home.

When ideas turn to vapor or are washed down the sink, I'd rather run out of paper than run out of ink.
The pages I was turning began to bore me. A man without a journey is a book without a story.
Be that as it may, at the end of the day everything is epilogue anyway.
Everything is epilogue either way.

So fill your boots and give praise, plants your roots and dig your grave deeper in the ground.
Your head to toes will decompose, you’ll give your dirt back to the earth, and never be found.
But don't expect the credits to roll up as the curtains fall down.
Don't expect the credits to roll up as the curtains fall down.
