She said, “You've had too much.”
I said, “Yeah, you're probably right, but it's barely enough.”
From Monday blues to Sunday shoes, this all just feels the same.
Tomorrow always stays a day away.
Have I gone too far to stop?
Or have I seen too much to go on?
If I go straight enough for long enough,
I'll wind up at the start.
Sometimes long enough is so damn long.
And I'm willing to change,
sing out of my range,
but where's the wide-eyed whistler gone?
I don't know.
Is the voice inside my head
the voice with which I speak?
Stacking silver circles, waiting for the check,
getting caught in my own safety net.
Have I almost got it down?
Or have I had it up to here?
Do people grow like pupils adjusting to the dark,
or do they just grow rusty from the tears?
And I'm willing to change,
sing out of my range,
but where's the wide-eyed whistler gone?
And I'm willing to change,
sing out of my range,
but where's the wide-eyed whistler gone?
