BL 12 The best it’s gonna get
You’ve made my life a crazy trip I thought my time had come
But for every push there comes a slip back closer to square one
It gives me thoughts to ponder, gives me scope for fret
That whatever may seem possible this is the best it’s gonna get
Slipping away
You fill my life with wonder yet you fill it with alarm
I want to wrap you safely and keep you from all harm
I hope to break the barrier, I hope for better yet
But part of me’s resigned this is the best it’s gonna get
Slipping away – don’t let it slip away
Why do you still turn inwards when the world is at your door
Surrounded by the heavens your eyes turn to the floor
Do you need to exorcise the demons from your past?
Don’t know what it is but somethings gotta give
If you want this love to last
Grant me the tranquility to do what I must do
Parting with civility, it’s hard to see it through
Is too late to change direction, or is my course really set
An unhappy reflection if this is the best it’s gonna get
Slipping away – don’t let it slip away
