Vistas

Tell me, how did it go?
Was it fate that saw me running?
Was it fate that caught me humming your song?
Remind me, how did you come?
Were you wearing the ruby red lipstick?
Were you hanging out with the hip kids for too long?

I listened, for I could not speak
When I caught you smoking in the alley
Words about moving to Cali on your tongue
Oh yeah, forgot to mention to say
When you're driving all over those vistas
Remember just how I missed ya when you're gone

Sometimes, it feels like war
Sometimes, it feels like passion
Sometimes, it feels like the ice-cold blade of the knife
Sometimes, it feels like life

When you got it and you got it bad
Weighing out good deeds and bad ones
The plain and the simple and sad songs on your mind
When you have it, you have it so good
The pendulum, it swings here often
And your resolve, it starts to soften given time

And tell me, how does it bend?
The space and light all around you
The place and time where I found you in this life
And tell me, how does it end?
Am I waiting around ever after
In a bar filled up with actors saying lines?

Sometimes, it feels like war
Sometimes, it feels like passion
Sometimes, I feel insane
Sometimes, I play the game
Sometimes, it feels like the ice-cold blade of the knife
Sometimes, it feels like life
