We've Been At This

Misery bangs at your front door

My arms are not so strong to swim against this anymore

But I don't claim to have this figured out

Maybe the difference is in that, maybe I'm starting to see it



You've got me in your peripheral vision

You'd rather have me in your rear view

At times things don't go as expected

May I have your attention?



Meet me again behind front lines

Outside my window I can see the leaves have changed

But my heart is constant

I don't claim to have this figured out

Maybe the difference is in that, maybe I'm starting to see it



You've got me in your peripheral vision

You'd rather have me in your rear view

At times things don't go as expected

What were those words that you said?



And may the road rise to meet your feet

I know you are tired, but don't admit defeat



You've got me in your peripheral vision

You'd rather have me in your rear view

At times things don't go as expected

May I have your attention?
