You did real fine when the time came to go.
stepped to the porch and leaned back through the door. we'd both said some hurtful things.
misguided love brother don't you agree?
porch squeaked and it woke the dog.
ain't this a bumpy road we're all on?
tie your heart to the end of this string.
don't ever lose that most precious thing.

i know you're looking for truth. it's a relative thing
you can't always count on it to be much help.
I'm gonna bust out of here. where i'm going ain't clear.
there's a view from the roof. go see for yourself.

always some shadow in the night.
some dark thing trying to block out the light.
what if those voices inside your head
are only the dreams that we haven't dreamed yet?

i know you're looking for proof . it's a relative thing
you can't always count on it to be much help.
I'm gonna bust out of here. where i'm going ain't clear.
there's a view from the roof. go see for yourself.

little brother you ain't halfway yet.
be flying with your wings soon so don't you forget
tie your heart to the end of that string.
don't ever lose that most precious thing ...
it's easily lost where we're going.

i know you're looking for truth. it's a relative thing
you can't always count on it to be much help.
I'm gonna bust out of here. where i'm going ain't clear.
there's a view from the roof. go see for yourself.
