Wouldn't it be nice if we had an agreement
The point of view that civilizes the connection between you and I?
You treat women as if they are an item up for sale,
Today I get the lowest bid.

What is it that bonds the friendship that we have?
It's as if we're holding on, like a frayed piece of string, sewn into the tapestry.

The world keeps turning and I've been standing my ground
I let you drown me out with your game
Well, I've been taking lessons, and then I learned how to swim.

I'm going to step back into the light, so I can see the shadows that surround me
I'm going to turn and walk my own path
And expose you with the pictures in my mind.

When I'm gone, you won't find me singing the same old tune
I heard the flow of this life will bring a brighter melody.
I won't be asked to raise the bar any longer for you
So when I'm gone, I will sing a song for you.

When all is said and done, I won't be able to explain, so don't even try.
Strike a pose and quote your favorite line
Give me reason to store you in my pocket book memory.
The time is now, Away I go, off to a distant land
To an ancient hideaway, forbidden, in secrecy, away from you.
