Banks Of The Deep End

On the banks of the deep end

Where your soul is your best friend

Searchin' for a reason to go astray

Wild dreams turn to nightmares

Silver clouds turn to golden stairs

Everything that you used to know

Is slippin' away, yea

Here I've got my puzzle piece

Only got it for a short term lease

No time for askin'

No goin' back to get hurt

I take a little from the mixture

Try to put it into the picture

Got a place where you're standin'

Dig your shoes into the dirt

Tryin' hard to get back

Runnin' on the stones

Put you on my shoulders

We can be the only one

See the world's still spinnin' 'round

Gettin' dizzy when we look

There's a reason to be home

There's a feelin' when you smile

But it feels like it might take over

This feelin' deep inside

And there's a distance down the line

Far away from the station

We can leave it all behind

On a rollin' creation

Sit away from the window

Who will lock the door?

Can't you learn from the last time

And the time before

See the world's still spinning 'round

Gettin' dizzy when we look

Got to leave town

To see yellow flowers bloom

Sun goin' down

It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon

On the banks of the deep end

Twistin' as a riverbed

Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yea

Couldn't hire twenty-five men

To do what the men couldn't do

Jus' the sound of his walkin'

Split the whole damn town in two

Into the night full of shadows

He still walks when the thunder rolls

This river ain't shallow

Reminds us that the bell still tolls

Bears in the kitchen

Tigers on T.V.

The singer's pretendin'

This song's for me

See the world's still spinnin' 'round

Gettin' dizzy when we look

Took a wrong turn down by the waterline

Heard they had to drag you off the sand

Find a dune and the wind will miss you

Hold on to a piece of dry land

Got to hold on to a piece of dry land

Got to hold on to a piece of dry land

On the banks of the deep end

Where I lost my best friend

Searchin' for a reason to go astray
