No Other Way

I hardly write sad songs

In minor keys

Well sure, I feel sad

But i'm happy to be

Cuz sad folks like you and like me

Can see

A whole other layer beneath

Time's in no hurry

Time aint no thief

It gives itself away

Like a dog in heat

Like two romantic poets

On a dimly lit street

It flows on and on like a river

And this breaks my heart

And fills it

More than a few times a day

Now my heart's in thousands of pieces

But for sad folks like us

There aint no other way

Ive spent my life searching

For peace of mind

Well the more you go lookin

The more pieces you find

And some people's peace

Looks like some people's bind

I ache for the solving of mysteries

Drunk on the details and the histories

This breaks my heart

And fills it

More than a few times a day

Now my heart's in thousands of pieces

But for seekers like us

There aint no other way

What's true, what's honest

What's really real ?

Questions that keep us

Turning the wheel

Somewhere between what we know

And the way that we feel

We can see for what seems like forever

But its rare when it all comes together

And this breaks my heart

And fills it

More than a few times a day

Now my heart's in thousands of pieces

But for the curious kind

There aint no other way
