[ Featuring Pete ]
I was craning my neck, as you do
On the side of the road
Walking with my old shoes, singing bad blues, out of control
And I didn't know it then
But you'd take this traveler home
I was looking for a pause in the battle
You were waving a flag
Ten miles home, or I can sit in the saddle
Let me just grab my bag
And so I
I stopped believing
I had to walk this path alone
Just a long and winding road
That I could not see ever ending
I stopped believing
Despite that stupid song
And I listen attentively
But always get it wrong
I was facing my days, going no place
Without a home
But then you softened my heart
When I thought I was bad to the bone
And I didn't know it then
But I hated living life on my own
It seemed like I was winning the rat race
Picket fence and a flag
Hiding loneliness in every crawl space
One more cat in the bag
Because I
I stopped believing
I had to walk this path alone
Just a long and winding road
That I could not see ever ending
I stopped believing
I can hear that stupid song
And I listen attentively
But always get it wrong
I still sing along
You were always to blame
For my plans and my pain
And I never forgot what you brought to the game
Just close your eyes
I'm going away
Because I
I stopped believing
I can't keep telling you lies
Babe, I recognize
That you are only trying to love me
I stopped believing
But I kept playing along
I couldn't stand the melody
But I still sang your song
I stopped believing
That a pop song got it right
I don't want to start a fight
But silence is intimidating
I stopped believing
I pretended for too long
That I enjoyed the melody
But I still hate the song
I always get it wrong
So so long
