lyrics

I have often wondered by myself
Keep it quiet, keep it to myself
and it's only in a song that I can pour it out in time for the decline

He will often race the rolling hills
Keeping steady, holding back the thrill
but it’s only at the top when the energy rolls in then nothing

You’re fighting against the walls
and finding a place to fall
While you’re lost in a dream, the world will keep on turning us all

I wish I could take it at the source
Feel the wind change and predict it’s course
But it’s only when it’s too late, when the time has gone and I have compromised

You’re fighting against the walls
and finding a place to fall
While you’re lost in a dream the world will keep on turning us all

Because you’re my best friend and my enemy after all
you’re my best friend and my enemy after all

and I’m fighting against the walls
and finding a place to fall
While I’m lost in a dream, the world will keep on turning us all
because I’m my best friend and my enemy after all
