Casting Lines Lyrics by Jack’s Mannequin

People and Things

2011

You learn to run, you learn to race
Through life, this unforgiving pace
These lines we're tracing to the truth
And stepping over endless cracks
I navigate these crooked paths
But all my roads lead back to you

And who are we to argue fate?
And who is time to make us wait?
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home
A thread through the unknown
And all the lines we cast into forever
Tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone
Where all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home

And all the time I kept the score
I never grasped what love was for
You always gave me what I need
To know it's true and to still ask why
To break the bonds and raise the sky
You tear the soil from the sea

But who am I to argue fate?
And who are you to walk away?
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home
A thread through the unknown
And all the lines we cast into forever
Tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone
Where all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home to you

And who are we to argue fate?
And who am I to think this way?
I'm standing here with nothing left to lose

And we're still coming home
A thread through the unknown
And all the lines we cast into forever
Will come back when the weather hits the road
A road we walked alone
Where all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home

You learn to run, you learn to race
Through life, this unforgiving pace
These lines we're tracing to the truth
