Come back
See the sun on the horizon
Yeah, it’s coming on, this is the start, I’m sure
We’ll let this end like a beginning
Like everything else we’ve ever begun before
I know your pain
I know ‘cause it sticks on me
Yeah it’s this game
That’s what it is
That surely will set us free
Now here I am
Take me or leave me
Just say the word, and I’ll heed your every call
Just take control
Lord knows I want you to
Just say the word
Just say any word at all
No this is not no longer who we are
We change our clothes
We cut our hair
But it’s in the air we breathe
The names we wear
Like I still keep singing the songs I write
To move you half way across the world
But you come back
Yeah you always return
Leaving both of us right where we are
Right where we always will be

A new song about an old state of being – “Everything changes, yet I remain the same” (if I might be so bold as to quote myself). This one, I think, is not meant to be easily understood. But there’s a feeling in there, somewhere. If you happen to find it, I suggest you don’t hold on to it for too long. It makes for bad company, trust me.
It might be considered an anthem for the Facebook generation (which we may or may not regard ourselves as right now, but certainly will hear nothing of, in a matter of a few short years), in that it’s becoming increasingly harder to keep away from that which you have no desire of holding on to. Especially for a “holding-on” professional, like yours truly.
