We stood on a snow-packed
road talking theories for an hour
Deaf to the pinging open door
on the driver side of your car
Pulling on your thick pink sweater
Urgent exchange
masking out the weather
We were driven to make,
put together, take apart
There beyond the next
highway overpass
There was endless
sky-all there was, was sky
With keys picked up from
kitchen tables
and vague plans to defy labels
You and I made up
different ways to fly
Where does the road over that hill go
Where does the road over that hill go
I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Who knows
Do you know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Who knows
Gibran writes we're archers
sending arrows out in time
In a bedside book left here
by someone trying to make me whole
And those arrows are children
that come to know
The same expectation
to pick up a bow
Some step out of line to chase
their own expressive goals
So I poured it all into making
these artifacts of mine
And yours went into raising up
a first and second child
Which one is selfless,
which self-absorbed
Strategies to be seen or adored
Wanting to give
Hoping to leave proof of us behind
We are driven to make,
put together, take apart
Telephone date to compare notes,
head and heart
And we are where we aim to be
Where we are is where we aim to be
Where we are, where we aim to be,
where we are
We find ourselves where we are
Where we aim to be
Where we are is where we aim to be
Where we are
We find ourselves
You witness them imagining a life
outside your house
Will they continue lines
or draw outside
You are mostly blind
You can’t tell if things have changed
Or if it’s all just more of the same
It’s a waiting game
All you've got is time
Where does the road over that hill go
Where does the road over that hill go
I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Who knows
Do you know cause
I don't know I don't know I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Who knows
