Lyrics

I used to wear a long skirt in the summer time
Dancin' around real slow in the sunshine
Barefeet dirty, long hair flowin'
Feelin' carefree and not knowin' why
I'm just happy to be alive
I'm livin' in this time and place
Every day thinkin' hard about the human race
And why we do the things we do
Would it be like this if it was up to you?

Round trip and you're back where you started
Waiting at the station from which you departed
You touch down and you walk through the gate and
You look up and you notice the date and
There isn't anybody left to blame
It's all different but it's still the same

You and I will crawl up and die
All we can do is try
To speak for the people who haven't any voices
And feel for the women who haven't any choices
Downtown used to be a lot taller
Now the whole world just seems a lot smaller
One day and suddenly
You know it's not just a place that's on tv
So surprising rhyme why we can't rewind
Can't turn the clock back oh my gosh
All wounds don't heal with time
All stains don't come out in the wash

We don't seem to learn from our history
How could war lead to peopale feelin' free?
Is there a way to protect ourselves from ourselves?
And the fears we hide inside
We gotta delve down deep into our hearts and minds
Give more thought to the feelings that we find

Round trip and you're back where you started
Standing on the platfrom from which you departed
I know the reason you said what you said and
What's the reason you did what you did and
I know you tried to forget me
I would do the same if my body would let me
But I love you now like I did back then

Life is real short, regrets are real long
I'm making my choice just writing this song
Can you do what you love, can you love what you do?
And nobody designs you life for you
I walk a path of resistance you haven't tried yet
Connect, accept, forgive, forget
With every single breath you will dissolve yourself
Your birth, your name, your deeds, your death

I'll meet you in the last car of the train
My ears still ringin' from these songs of pain
And you know me now like you knew me then
And it's all the same

It's all the same (5x)

We don't seem to learn from our history
All this time and we're still not feelin' free
Is there a way to connect ourselves with ourselves?
And the hope that hides inside
We gotta delve deep into what we find
And take time to hear the story from both sides

Round trip and you're back where you started
Waiting at the station from which you departed
The sun sets and it's getting late and
You sit back and you live in your fate and
There isn't anybody left to blame
It's all different but it's still the same

Life is real short, regrets are real long
I'm making my choice just writing this song
Can you do what you love, can you love what you do?
And nobody designs you life for you
I walk a path of resistance you haven't tried yet
Connect, accept, forgive, forget
With every single breath you will dissolve yourself
Your birth, your name, your deeds, your death
