In the stillness
you're smiling backward.
Playing “amb-ignorant,”
frowning forward.

Break the brakes
but don't accelerate.
Coasting up
will never prove your fate.

Togetherness
will send us homeward.
In the light of the setting sun,
ring the dinner bell and watch 'em come.

Falling rocks
along the towpath.
Trouble abounds,
but we can just laugh.

Once upon a time
we had it right.
Setting up,
but then it turned to night.

And forgetting everything
that we had.
Taste of extra and they're making plans.
Grasping everything in giant hands.

All along
you had it coming.
Just a bridge they say
but holding.

Keeping still just to
stay in place.
Frowning all the time you're
saving face.

All up to them
from the beginning.
All the chances left of seeing through
rest in knowing what you just can't do.
