In A Life

I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you with the fare
On the Underground
Wherever you be found
I'll meet you there

I'll meet you in time
I'll meet you cruel or kind
The heart weighs a ton if you need someone
And they're standing on the platform
But it's the other side

I'll meet you in the air
I'll meet you when you're not there
The shopping list of all you missed
Let's go there

I'll meet you in the surreal
I'll meet you in the joy you steal
Stones and sticks you're kicking the pricks
And still I'm learning how to kneel
Or what not to feel

And when we reach the Circle line
And when we stop the clocks stopping time
To wake up an unforgiving son
Wake in the dream that overcomes
In a life we get a taste of it all
In a life
I'll meet you when you don't care
In the empty space that occupies your place
I'll meet you there

A penny on the track
We ran and get it back
The driver on the train
Whose soul's in so much pain
Says love will flatten
But it won't crack
The coin won't crack

And when we make our bed out of war
Deafen our children with its roar
Repeat, rewind, replay once more
Never unsee the sights they saw

In a life
We get caught in the traffic
In a life
We make misery from magic
In a life
We miss the comic in the tragic
In a life
In a life
I feel alone I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
I feel alone I need it known
I only received from being shown
I feel alone I need it known
I never achieved anything on my own
A skipping stone I was thrown
The ocean floor is not my home

In a life
We catch a glimpse of someone else
In your eyes
Caught a glance of myself
