Hot on the Trail

Well, you don't like that way that I am
It's not the way that you want and the way you understand
But I can't help being the way that I am
It's just the way that it is and what I know, so sorry about

All of these things that I be and I know
It's all me and not you, but this ain't how I wish it to be
For you and your way and I know it's all me
Just know that I know, I know it's all on me

All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
Hot on the trail of a real fine life
This could be what it means to be alive
Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me
And I know being me makes it hard to see
Oh, standing on a precipice isn't new
Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue

All this, call this what you want, but it makes me feel alive
Stowed it, showed it, now I know it can't be in my mind
It was foreign, pouring, I've been storing this for a long while
I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune eventually in time

But you don't like that way that I feel
It's the way that makes you feel worse all of the time
And I know that it's not okay for you
And it's not for me and is for you

So sorry about all of these things that you didn't sign up for
And I don't wish the pain on you, it's so sore
But I've been honest to fault, but it doesn't help
I know that it hurts, and it hurts, and it keeps on hurting

Every single time, we try and try to make things right for you and I
We just kept digging, digging it deep
Below our feet 'til we started to sink
And I didn't know what, what to do
I told myself the truth, the truth
And I could understand and you could understand
But how could we stand when there was nowhere to stand?

And all the little things that get under our skin
Didn't make us better in that heavy weather
I hope that it's better, but never upsetter
We took our hands, made some vague plan

All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
Hot on the trail of a real fine life
This could be what it means to be alive
Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
Love is infinite like sun rays

I know what I need to be me
And I know being me makes it hard to see
The distance hasn't always been clear
But finally, with our love, it could appear

And you don't like what it is (you don't like what it is)
And you don't know what it is (you don't know what it is)
And I can't sum it up easily
But I know what it is that I plainly see

Yeah, who could have liked what it was?
It caused such a fuss
My heart placed in your hand
Then we gave love a chance, and
