[Verse 1]
Days pa** on by
Like cartwheels in the park
Like shooting in the dark
Is all we ever had
Memories float
But I fear the sinkless boat
For they're starting to awake
The pa**engers
[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up in the past
Don't let me get tangled in what once was
Don't let me look left when everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded by my very own sight
[Verse 2]
Greeted by applause
That which was then held just one clause
That I'd forever be in search of the ecstatic rush to
Complete me
Now I stand in the dust
The still that comes after the rush
And I wonder how long I'll dwell in this
Desert here
[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up in the past
Don't let me get tangled in what once was
Don't let me look left when everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded by my very own sight
[Verse 3]
I want to see the orangemen groves
Where the desert sand turns into snow
Where the women dance with the nights slung low
Over the sea
It's a palette I can touch
It's water for this thirsty paint brush
And I need it just as much
As the air that I breathe
[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up in the past
Don't let me get tangled in what once was
Don't let me look left when everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded by my very own sight
Don't let me get caught up in the past
Don't let me get tangled in what once was
Don't let me look left when everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded by my very own sight
