notebook filled with all these thoughts
brown on the edges
what's it costing you
wish i only knew

i can't take these days they're long
lost in a passage
one more song or two
wish i only knew

need a cover for my head and face lost in a matter i'm out pace and blue
wish i only knew

one week seems like a holiday
next week comes blows it all away it's true
wish i only knew

biding time can seem like a sad encounter
just let them be see what they amount to

cast the night away
a pass or a getaway will do
wish i only knew

sleeping less and counting more
heads or feet are on the floor - it's true
you can linger in the afternoon
evening figure is a lonely one or two
wish i only knew

can't write home when you're not away
home doesn't feel right anyway
home doesn't feel right anyway

smoke and windows help you kill the day
time won't help you if you live the way you do
um hmmmmm

streets are empty- engines cold
creaks in the foreground your dreams over you
wish i only knew

turn the corner it's a sunny day
overpass leaves me only a ray or two
wish i only knew

day of driving and a night of thought...
can't leave this city caught
on you

biding time can seem like a sad encounter
just let them be
see what they amount to.
