lyrics

"Ride it Out"
Wistappear
________________
==============


tying up the ends,
laughing with my old friends,
it's all here again

tangled in the knots
of my thoughts,
there creeps a burrowing fear

scientific terms
are the worst
when you just want to feel it out

all the deadlines
are the land mines
sleeping under my ground


_//\\_ I became the captain of the fleet
_//\\_ Setting out to reach the mark I can meet
_//\\_ I began my planning in my sleep


take a little time
for a clear mind,
now it's empty like my plate

funny when I
can't tell the difference
between fun and a mistake

always braking strings,
but I buy more,
so I can sing of broken strings

everything I learned
in my turned-down term
is loving the little things


_//\\_ I became the captain of the fleet
_//\\_ Setting out to reach the mark I can meet
_//\\_ I began my planning in my sleep


|'::::::::::'| Heavy loads are sliding down my sleeves
|'::::::::::'| Dragging down the motion that I need so badly
|'::::::::::'| Tracing tracks, not looking where they lead
|'::::::::::'| Bad or great, we won't know what we need
so ride it out


the more I say
the less I want
and the more I need you

and if I may
could I say
i'd like to try it out my way

you could plug along
on the rock-hard pavement
just to fill your plate

and I could slackline
on the rumbling fault line
leaving no estate

to my future self, I'm sorry I went along playing to my heart's content
to my future boys, I'm sorry I went along playing to my heart's content

i told you
gold will appear
when you turn around and defeat the fear


_//\\_ I began my planning in my sleep


|'::::::::::'| Heavy loads are sliding down my sleeves
|'::::::::::'| Dragging down the motion that I need so badly
|'::::::::::'| Tracing tracks, not looking where they lead
|'::::::::::'| Bad or great, we won't know what we need
so ride it out
