What is this remarkable intention in my blood?
Pulls me up in spite of what I think I've become
The one-shot street parade is rolling right outside the glass
Watch the cars go by and wait for your moment to pass

Nothing gives you that feeling
Like the songs that you knew years ago
But you can't go back
So keep on straight ahead

All the weight that you stacked
Inside of "remember-whens"
Will keep you buried in the sand
And tangled in the vines
These boundaries you set
They're just imaginary lines

So whistle something different
Won't you sing me something new
The wind might push the sails
But it won't steer for you

Make those tight connections
Go find the right things to say
And don't come back until you've made it all the way
I know nothing gives you that feeling
Like the songs that you knew years ago
But you can't go back
So keep on straight ahead

All the weight that you stacked
Inside of "remember-whens"
Will keep you buried in the sand
And tangled in the vines
These boundaries you set
They're just imaginary lines

Let it go, man
You're just holding on
Let it go, man
You're just holding on
Let it go, man
You're just holding on to something that's long gone
Something that's long gone, hm

You can't go back
Keep on straight ahead
All the weight that you stacked
Inside of "remember-whens"
Will keep you buried in the sand
And tangled in the vines
These boundaries you set
They're just imaginary lines
