Watching My Life Go By
Michael Hedges
Everyone sees their life a different way
Saviors even come on different days
Bleeding his colors into several shades
But I am a prisoner caught in the flesh, red-handed
Watching my life go by
I'm watching my life go by
Watching my life
Nobody knows how close "together" means
Love is a race we run at different speeds
Pacing ourselves to deal with different needs
But I am a spectator caught in a crowd of laughter
Watching my life go by
I'm watching my life go by
Watching my life
Somebody help me find my way back down
There's nobody left for me to lap around
Everyone's breaking past my speed of sound
I am a dictator, I keep my soul surrounded
Watching my life go by
I'm watching my life go by
I'm watching my life
