My Regeneration

Started off a figure In a painted land Arrived at some kind of understanding Where the seasons go slow And there's no time at For white lies and surface reactions There's a light in the distance At the edge of the night Scared to open your eyes Hesitation There's only so much affliction You can choose to ignore Been waiting for your regeneration I was living on the back roads She said, "How far d'you wanna drive?" I said, "I'm having trouble deciding" I was daydreaming Till she said my name Then we talked for the next 100 miles I gazed at her reflection In the dashboard lights Ah this could be my regeneration When she wound down the window I could see the crescent moon It'll be here soon my regeneration I love old hotels They got thick thick walls And heavy curtains over the window I'm waiting for a sign To appear in my mind And drag me out of this limbo There's a light on the landing And it stays on all night Ah this could be my regeneration The way you tell your story Is how you survive How we understand our place in this life Ended up sleeping On the floor beside her bed In a dream decided to wake up Grabbed all my things Headed for the door That's where the picture Started to break up I'm ready now I'm leaving Gonna pour it out like Pericles In a golden age Like spring rain on dry ground Caterpillar crawling round No way over and no way back I couldn't find what I wanted When it didn't feel right Scared to open my eyes Hesitation Regeneration
