lyrics

Oh god is that really you
and after all of these years
must have been out of my mind
I didn’t know you were here
Got caught up with a friend
we went out for a ride
then we stopped in for a drink
and just to murder some time

Tell me, how have you been
hope you've been keeping warm
are you still there in the city
or did you move to the farm
and all those plans that you made
did you see them all through
or did you take it in stride
and do the best you could do

There are lies we never tell
but we mean them just the same
There are feelings that we feel
that there are no words to say

Me, I’m doing just fine
nothing much has changed
except a wife and a child
and a home on the range
I still sit up all night
writing songs for no one
I go to sleep with the sun
and with my room all undone
I still keep telling myself
I’ll be discovered some day
If only time is the cost
then the price I’ll have paid
to build my legacy
my philosophies
lost immortality

There are lies we tell ourselves
sometimes others go along
There are feelings that we feel
even though we know they’re wrong

OK, we’re back in this room
and I must confess
I saw you right from the start
because you were wearing that dress
But when I looked at you
your eyes looked away
so I turned to me friend
and wished that you’d go away
because there’s nothing to say
I like to tell myself there’s nothing left to say
When there’s too much to say
I always tell myself there’s nothing left to say

There are times when all we have
well it still seems far away
And there are nights when all we want
doesn’t seem like much to me
And there are fears we never say
because we hope they’ll go away
And there are secret tears we shed
as we turn our backs in bed
There are lies we never tell
but we meant to anyway
There are things we’ve never felt
but we said them anyway

Like “Me, I’m doing just fine.”
