Looking back through the eyes of our former innocence. Kind and gentle and steadfast and true. One step at a time there junior. There's so much yet to see.

lyrics

Sometimes when I try, I seem to make it harder than it actually is to get things done.
Well, the skies look like they're melting.
You know, we're really at the whims of the weather.
But I'm here now.

A mid-morning exchange of the brown-bag variety.
And there's only one thing it could be...
Well, my memory has served me well but sometimes you got to let it go and remember what it's like to be wide-eyed again.

Like you washed away the sand.

Wide-eyed again. Take with you what you can.

It's all waiting there outside your window.
And over time you'll understand that we're all looking out from our own point of view.

A sliver of the moon gets caught under my skin.
A lazy afternoon 'neath canvas umbrellas.
A smile that says it's all gonna play out like we planned.
As hearts and palms collect the time on our hands again.

When all the world is new.

Wide-eyed again. Like a tall tale coming true.

Ain't it amazing how we do all that we do?
We rearrange the rainchecks falling through, while we're looking out.

It's only for a little while so if you don't know now just try.
'Cuz waiting around on it again won't help you make up with your mind.
It's a wager.
Ain't written on no page of favors documenting how the world unwinds.
But it's OK, cuz every single day we all come just a little bit undone.
