Neither Could Dylan

When I awoke this morning I couldn’t see anything at all
I could feel the rays but the sun was playing hide and seek with the clouds
I know a lot has changed since the day we met, but please know that I’m trying
It’s the little things that get to me, that make me bitter and despondent

I know it meant nothing to either of one of us
So why am I stuck here overanalyzing your conquest
I just can’t keep trying,
Trying to keep up
Break my legs so I have an excuse to stop

I almost wish we hadn’t left things the way that we did
But I complicate simplicity, and I had no choice but to leave
To be honest I’m a liar and I just didn’t want to have to lie to you
But I miss you like crazy, so here I go again, bending the truth

I know it meant nothing to either one of us
But I’m the one still stuck here, still chasing the thought
And I really can’t keep trying, trying so hard to keep up
Break my legs so I have an excuse to stop
I’m just so tired of running
Towards a horizon that drops

I know it meant nothing
At least not to you
But this track goes on forever
and I don’t like to lose
I’m just so tired of running
I couldn’t be more clear
Make the world stop for a second
So I can take a couple to your ear
Cause I really can’t keep running
These soles are all worn through
And the cars behind me honking
Say they’ve got better things to do
I’ve been following your markers
But they’re getting hard to read
With the rate these winds are blowing
I’ll be cast off the road
Indefinitely

When I awoke this morning I couldn’t see anything at all
But I could feel the sun, and that’ll do for now
