[Verse 1] You draw the line You draw it again And I only lie to my closest friends Straight as an arrow But, that depends You hit the road, and the road bends I have no quarrels, no enemies I know my failures, my expertise The righteous gambling of '82 You came to me, but I was born to you [Verse 2] Where would you wander? What would it mean? There might be saviors, but no guarantees When we needed something kind of like love We fell together, I guess, just because Oh, my friend sorrow, you are relieved I no longer need your company And what's stuck in my throat is a mystery [Chorus] And what it is Is a heartbreaking, soul-shaking, overwhelming undertaking That hit me once again [Verse 3] I knew your mother She was my friend It's only love to her that I do extend When I fell under, sometimes nightly She was the branch to which I held on tightly I've tried my staple of remedies I know it's hard to see the light when you're on your knees I had a map, borrowed a car North Colorado via Arkansas [Hook: Lucius] Island to island, breaking my silence I'm hemmed in water Quelling the violence behind my eyelids I close and open Something inside you is bending like I do It's like that feckless song [Verse 4] If down the walk If you are to find Some box of clues that I've left behind I just thought that I'd save you some time Straighten it out here and make it rhyme: It's not my nature to pretend That any one road leads to any one end And maybe victory's too heavy for arms like these And freedom's too loaded with the speak of destinies Just try to see the thing for what it is [Chorus] And what it is Is a heartbreaking, soul-shaking, overwhelming exhalation That hit me once again Hit me once again
