Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sweet dreams, I'll see you in the morning All we need is a few hours sleep And tomorrow, we'll keep looking for clues To the riddles spelled out in our soup [Pre-Chorus] There's a dozen round every corner But it won't be easy to piece them together, no But we've got minds like barbed wire I never thought that it would be so tough Just to exist through the simplest, most menial stuff But I know we're gonna figure this thing out, or self-immolate trying [Chorus] There once was a time when we walked crooked lines But that's all over now I'll walk with you into the blue [Verse 2] Dreamt of a city, somewhere over the mountains Where the sidewalks are paved with helpful ideas You were with me, standing over the highway Gasoline hanging in the air [Pre-Chorus] Can't seem to cut loose all these tangled threads In my embroidered tapestry crafted by my very own 2,000 hands You got any weekend plans? Can't help but wonder if you're still my pal But you told me once that you would follow me into hell And oh man, that place is far behind me now [Chorus] There once was a time when we walked crooked lines But that's all over now I'll walk with you into the blue [Bridge] There was a traveler who claimed he had all the answers He came from Jupiter but he was only an amateur He was all alone, so far from home [Chorus] There once was a time when we walked crooked lines But that's all over now I'll walk with you into the blue [Outro] (Gee, it's nice to have some time alone Plenty of space and all the time I need to get my work together I really do think everything is going to be much better from now on)
