Telephone Pole

Life is like a telephone pole

And I'm a vehicle spinning out of control

Asking for a guardian angel or some kind of sign

To show me the meaning of life

And what all of this is for

(ohh)

One day is a blessing

The next day is a curse

One day I'm moving forward

The next I'm in reverse

But the daylight knows what the night forgets

Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when

One day is a whisper

The next hits like a brick

One day it all feels certain

The next sinks like a ship

And the shadows hide where the sunlight ends

Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when I can see it

Life is like a patch of black ice in the night

A bolt from the blue of the sky

A split in the road

Why am I afraid of an ending

I already know

One day is a blessing

The next day is a curse

One day I'm moving forward

The next I'm in reverse

But the daylight knows what the night forgets

Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when

One day is a whisper

The next hits like a brick

One day it all feels certain

The next sinks like a ship

And the shadows hide where the sunlight ends

Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when I can see it, oh

When I can see it

Life is like a patch of black ice in the night

A bolt from the blue of the sky

A telephone pole

Like twists and turns that point to an ending

Days turn to years and weave a tapestry

Stretched to the heavens and as far as I can see

All the shapes and colors blurred and undefined

Until I step away and watch them come to life
