The Other Line
Dropout Year
I'd love to get you to take
a few steps
out of you comfort zone
But just one at a time
And have you walk
not stumble into my arms
Just try
to imagine
life as not a cycle fueled by doubt
But more as
A line
and I'm the one to straighten it out
Out of sight
but always in mind
Make your move
and leave it behind
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
I know he's visiting Friday
And he'll stay
as long as you don't stop to think about
the guy who sits at home and struggles to figure out
All these intangibles
we said no one else understands
Aren't enough to have you
finally take my hand
Out of sight
but always in mind
Make your move
and leave it behind
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
Call me now up on your phone
I don't care that you're not alone
I prefer the sound of your voice to
the silence he creates
covering your mouth with his
A pacifier or a kiss?
I'm the other line and hoping you
will see thorough this in time
In time
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
