Still Life
We took two separate paths but we didn't meet in the middle No, sometimes it feels we're right back where we began Disappointed at an endless world of impossibilities and the overwhelming obstacles along the way Facing barricades that warn do not pass Shattered dreams like broken glass So we shrug it all off and get on with a laugh I take one step forward for each two steps back I'm constantly moving but not getting anywhere So I start running just to stay in place We are more than what we have become We aren't mirror images of what we're supposed to be When I thought I had hit the bottom, you handed me a shovel But maybe, baby we were buried from the beginning Oh, I feel I've been digging 26 years just to get to ground level So I climb and I climb to get to rock bottom Sometimes I feel I'm stuck in the still life.
