RUNWAY
RUNWAY
Through an hourglass, sand through my hands
Past the weight of aging on where we stand
It’s the waiting game that drives me insane
But the destination I don’t want to obtain
It’s all wrapped up in styrofoam™
The next thing that makes a house a home
It’s the journey’s end, we don’t pretend
And too far along for new old friends
You see,
These things take runway
It’ll all be OK as long as I keep it all on the runway
V2
The games we don’t have time to play
Relationships that drift away
Today’s chicken soup that feeds our soul
The joy I still get from Rock n’ Roll
Hair on my face eye’s still on a screen
A milestone year something else achieved
No time aside for us to grow
My brothers that I may never know
Love me
You see, we’re all on our runways
It’ll all be OK as long as it all stays on the runway
BRIDGE
The desire still lives inside of me
And the things in the dark I don’t want to see
Rock Island’s flooded in alcohol
The greatest gift’s getting through it all
The hangover just needs time
We exercise, we justify
Just breathe,
We’ve traveled so much runway
V3,4
These walls achieved, this ‘status quo’
The illusion we were taught was so
Supply and demand we face ahead
Just buy from Amazon Prime instead
Pass each moment with the love of my life
The runway it took to get this right
It’s the fleeting moments before our eyes
Anticipation for the next surprise
We count again in seven years
what evaporates, what disappears
This edge of time machine will click
Best to reach out, grab hold of it
While there’s still time,
While there’s still time on this runway
Everything’s OK, hey, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of runway
