Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were living five lives in one
Taking everyone's coat
Why can't you show them
What you've got in your cloak?
[Verse 2]
Cold hand on my shoulder
A star begins to beam
That's when you show me
Your souvenir from a dream
[Verse 3]
Empty handed, I awake
Just when I thought I had so much at stake
It seems you've got something to say
Why don't you say it?
[Verse 4]
No mister, this is Plattsburgh
I gotta go back to the junction about five miles
I think you've come the wrong way
You were supposed to make a right turn
[Verse 5]
Thirty lights in a row
Every one of them green
How it reminds me
Of your souvenir from a dream
[Verse 6]
Empty handed, I awake
Just when I thought I had so much at stake
It seems you've got something to say
Why don't you say it?
[Verse 7]
You were living five lives in one
You were living five lives in one
[Verse 8]
Mister, you've gone the wrong way
I think you better go back to the junction
You should have made a right turn
Believe me
I don't think this is where you want to go
No, you better just go back
I think you made a wrong turn somewhere
