a good start

You're one with the burden of intuition
You're one with the freedom of a blank stare
You're one with the best friend you lost you wish was still there
You're one with the dust on that old piano
You're one with the strings on your new guitar
You're one with wind through the open window
You are

It was a faint line that brought you here
And a pulse that kept you in time
It was the comfort of a tradition
But the fear that you were not that kind
And it's a shame now, baby
You can't see yourself in everything you're running from
And it's the same world, honey
That has brought you down
As the one that's gonna pick you up
And pick you up

You're one with the echoes of conversation
You're one with the strangers you overheard
You're one with the lesson
That was the best one you learned

It was a long dark sleepy morning walk
And you fell down facing up
It was a good start

And it's a shame now, baby
You can't see yourself in everything you're running from
And it's the same world, honey
That has brought you down
As the one that's gonna pick you up
And it's a shame now, baby
You can't separate yourself from where you stood
And it's the same world, honey
Made you feel so bad
As the one that makes you feel so good
Feel so good.
