Is closer now than it's ever been
All the lights and sights we saw
No room left on the pages
We filled 'em up and painted some
Though the book it may never be read
Oh, by anyone, oh, anyone but me
And I hope the people are smiling
And I hope that today and every day is grand
Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing
But you know, something that I never had was the upper hand
Lonely ship on the horizon
Bright lights make for dark shadows
The lines once defined getting blurry now
And I hope the people are smiling
Oh, how I always wanted to be like one of them
Oh, I apologize, so sorry 'bout the timing
Oh, but you know, something that I never had was the upper hand
Oh, help to carry me home, eh
Oh, maybe just the two of you
