Blues Traveler

And if I take a different tack
Well then forgive me if the long way round
Confuses up the point until youre numb enough to hear
That youre using the anointing oil like its sacramental beer
And dont blame heaven or hell
You have to look to yourself
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
Dont got to learn a damn thing
Part of being free
And I realize
When I buck my place
Its my feet but its their race
And I dont run unless you try to chase me
And I dont leave unless you offer me a stay
And I wont fight unless Im cornered or if Im after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
So forgive me or forget you
If you think you cannot bear
Believe me life wont let you
If you blink you shall not fare
But should you get the chance
Try to make for the fence
Its a subtle dance we do
To stay in from the cold
And the cleverest ones
Get to be real old
I may struggle
I may complain
But Im just trying to grab at the reins
And I dont run unless you try to chase me
And I dont leave until you offer me a stay
And I dont fight unless Im cornered or if Im after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
I dont run unless you try to chase me
And I dont leave until you offer me a stay
And I dont fight unless Im cornered or if Im after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
And if Im wondering where to go well then forgive me if I dont know
