To wander down the roads of what should, could or might have been
To ponder possibilities, the left, the held, the in-between
To grieve, to hold, to morn the loss, these visions of ourselves
Set in silence, forbidden, through the years they howl
And mile by mile
Hour by hour
Lover by lover
You learned in time, you learned in time
Oh potential energy
Oh visions of past selves
Oh you psychic ghosts, you should have beens, you wish you wells
You patterns that do play upon the water in moonlight
You rainbow in the prism in the darkest part of night
And mile by mile
Hour by hour
Lover by lover
You learned in time, you learned in time
And mile by mile
Hour by hour
Lover by lover
You learned in time, you learned in time
You learned in time,
That it doesn't get better it just gets more complicated
And everything you thought you knew you learned it on TV
Start to see the little things and the bigger picture clears
You haven't been yourself for years
So it doesn't get worse but it sure gets convoluted
The mirror's gonna lie to you, the world is going to burn
And when you beat your oppressor you have to face yourself
You'll learn to love your inner child and put him on the shelf
And mile by mile
Hour by hour
Lover by lover
You learned in time, you learned in time
And mile by mile
Hour by hour
Lover by lover
You learned in time, you learned in time
