On the banks of the deep end Where your soul is your best friend Searchin' for a reason to go astray
Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs Everything that you used to know Is slippin' away, yea
Here I've got my puzzle piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for askin' No goin' back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to put it into the picture Got a place where you're standin' Dig your shoes into the dirt
Tryin' hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders We can be the only one See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look
There's a reason to be home There's a feelin' when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feelin' deep inside And there's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rollin' creation
Sit away from the window Who will lock the door? Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look
Got to leave town To see yellow flowers bloom Sun goin' down It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon
On the banks of the deep end Twistin' as a riverbed Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yea
Couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the men couldn't do Jus' the sound of his walkin' Split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls
Bears in the kitchen Tigers on T.V. The singer's pretendin' This song's for me See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look
Took a wrong turn down by the waterline Heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searchin' for a reason to go astray
