She went from table manners
To tunnel vision to premature farewells
With a restlessness reserved
For those who believe in themselves
She thought the world was hers
So she made sure it bent beneath her will
She was as new and as ancient
As the solar paneled hills
She was certain she could take this town by storm
The wonder of sound and light seeking a form
But somewhere along the way
The dots didn't all connect
The promise became regrets
Somewhere along the way
The dream and the circumstance
Continue their tortured dance
Somewhere along the way

She was my lullaby personified
My vision in the mist
But her contacts were all promoters
And a westside therapist
The 5.a.ms, the worried friends
The parting of her lips
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist
How her only plan in life was getting lost
How she took me into the edge and made me watch
But somewhere along the way
The running just lost it's fun
That happens to everyone
Somewhere along the way
Her past just got too obscure
But that was her signature
She would talk about letting go
I guess I didn't understand
Giving over to the currents
That were there since time began
But on a long drive from El Paso
To the Pacific Ocean cliffs
I finally felt connected
To the continental drift
And somewhere along the way
I started to smile again
I don't remember when
Somewhere along the way
Things will turn out just fine
I know it's true this time
