1, 2, 1, 2...
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax
but he s always moving much too fast
said he ll see me on the flipside
on this trip he s taken for a ride
he s been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
there he goes...
he s yet to come back
but i ve seen his picture
it doesn t look the same up on the rack
we go way back
i wonder about his insides
its like his thoughts are too big for his size
he s been taken... where, i don t know?
off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes...
and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...
and he s still strong
nothing s changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he s home
and we re laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter-to-ten
i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
before his first step
he s off again
