You know me better than anyone
But knowledge is a moving train
You know me standing in the sun
Not the underbelly of my brain
And I know you better than anyone
Yet you are still a mystery
Always packed, ready to run
Shrouded in your secrecy
Life goes up, down, sideways too
Being happy is a transient thing
Hang on to it, like I hold to you
Love’s worth more than anything
Life is better with someone who’ll stay
Though we are each alone inside
Hand in hand walk the midway
Share screams on the carnival ride
Hang with me while I take you places
Though our dreams are not the same
We can fill each other’s spaces
While we work out who to blame
Life goes up, down, sideways too
Being happy is a transient thing
Hang on to it, like I hold to you
Love’s worth more than anything
You like summer’s sunny days
I’m more at home in April rain
Like reading those Shakespearean plays
Understanding only comes with pain
After the rain washes clean
The pavements shine like mirrored glass
Reflecting everything we’ve seen
Shimmering pictures from the past
Life goes up and down, sideways too
Being happy is a transient thing
Hang on to it, like I hold to you
Love’s worth more than anything
