Trick Questions

I'm well practiced at beginnings but I have seldom seen the end
I've seen passion burn to ashes and I've seen lovers turn to friends
I've listened to my heart but I'm a sucker for the wind
Should I sink my feet in the sand or let the breeze take me again
Should I sink my feet in the sand or let the breeze take me again

I move too slowly in the mornings but too quickly through the day
And each night as dreams come near I overhear my spirit say
We'll try again tomorrow, oh there's got to be a way to
Step in time with the drums in the dirt and sing along with the song in the rain
Step in time with the drums in the dirt and sing along with the song in the rain

Ooh, I've tried to learn my lesson
Ooh, is it all just some trick question

Well I've looked up to the sky above and I've prayed to understand
As if yelling at the clouds will give me comfort here on land
But neither sky nor city lights have met all my demands so
Maybe all I need is a heart that beats and a guitar in my hands
Maybe all I need is a heart that beats and a guitar in my hands

'Cause I've loved a million times but I've got nothing left to show
And I've broken my own heart chasing things I knew I'd never hold
But for all my failed endeavors I have this burning in my soul
Perhaps the love I need's in the air I breathe and the rocks that line the road
Perhaps the love I need's in the air I breathe and the rocks that line the road

Ooh, will I ever learn my lesson
Ooh, is it all just some trick question

So I'll run toward the horizon like I've never run before
And the sun she moves so slowly but she will beat me to the shore
And she'll meet my gaze and kiss me goodnight slowly, just before
She curls up in her ocean covers and says she'll see me in the morning
She curls up in her ocean covers and says she'll see me in the morning
