I'm not looking for the answer
Just somewhere to go when I put on my boots
'Cause I can't wander out to anywhere
Maybe yours could be the place that I go to

Once I descended from the mountain
I was weary and I was tired of the view
If I could chalk it up to one more thing
Then I guess we had one hell of a time too few

That's just lines in the sand
And that's better than in my own flesh and blood
It's gotta take a lot to learn to love
How I wish I knew what it was

I'm not quite alone but maybe I should be
I'm not really honest babe and that's not really fair
There's a force of power that I keep with ambiguity
And the rest that I'm not prepared to share

That's just lines in the sand
And that's better than in my own flesh and blood
It's gonna take a lot to learn to love
How I wish I knew what it was

And all the tightropes and the fences
That we have tread to not pass the point of friends
In a strange way it's often easier
If it never really starts
Then it never really ends

And I'm drawin' a line
That's better than in my own flesh
And blood (flesh and blood)

It's gonna take a lot to learn to love
How I wish I knew what it was
How I wish I knew what it was
