Square One

I've been watching the wheels turning But I'm learning to enjoy the ride On the road to nowhere I hope we get there soon 'cause it's a place we've been before Knocking on purgatory's door To find a place in the sun A chameleon changing colors on demand 'Cause this is life and it's alright Taking detours in your mind You'll be fine if you try To keep your eyes on the consolation prize When you lower your expectations And you've run out of patience It's all a part of the plan when you're lost in the world And you're going down hard for the girl I've been running the lights in the city Saying 'who can I be running from?' My demons told my skeletons 'he won't get very far' And when I got to the dark side of the moon All the trouble I thought I knew, it left me out in the cold Spinning out of control on a broken carousel Now tell me this is life and it's alright Chasing windmills in your mind You'll be fine if you try To keep your eyes on the consolation prize On the road to tomorrow Gonna have to beg, steal, or borrow It's all a part of the plan when you're dead to the world And you're going down hard for the girl For the girl For the girl For the girl For the girl See you on the other side of love all alone Sooner or later at the end of the world See you on the other side of love all alone Sooner or later at the end of the world 'Cause this is life and it's alright Taking detours in your mind You'll be fine if you try To keep your eyes on the consolation prize On the road to Valhalla Karma riding shotgun with drama It's all a part of the plan when you're lost in the world And you're going down hard for the girl
