Lyrics

I was talkin' to a friend the other night
She said, "I don't like what you're sayin'
"Your ethical affairs are just not right
"I can't believe the games you're playin'
"Yeah, you're havin' all your transcendental fun
"But soon enough, you're gonna hurt someone
"And it's so easy just to turn and run
"When someone else is payin'"
So I've come here just to bare my soul to you
'Bout these lies that I've been livin'
I thought everything I said before was true
Not just some lines that I was givin'
So it came as a great shock to realize
That truth is sometimes shot through with lies
And the kindest and most innocent of eyes
Can be the most deceiving
Now I'm washed up on the shore of Time
Like a piece of debris
With the evidence of all my petty crimes
Washin' up around me
And out on the horizon line
The shipwreck of a dream
Got to build a new one quick
And get back out to sea
No one ever told me 'bout the fact
That the price of gettin' older
Is to carry all your secrets on your back
Filed in confidential folders
But no one wants to look inside
'Cause everyone's got something to hide
So I just take another forward stride
Try to look a little bolder
When I'm washed up on the shore of Time ...
Sometimes I wish the muses and the fates
Had refused to wine and dine me
But I came to this conclusion far too late
Now there's this shadow right behind me
And I wish that I could promise you
That everything I'm saying now is true
But if someday, I disappear from view
I hope to God you'll find me
When I'm washed up on the shore of Time
Like a piece of debris
With the evidence of all my petty crimes
Washin' up around me
And out on the horizon line
The shipwreck of a dream
Got to build a new one quick
Get back out to sea
