I'm not looking for the answer
 
 Just somewhere to go when I put on my boots
 
 'Cause I can't wander out to anywhere
 
 Maybe yours could be the place that I go to
 
  
  Once I descended from the mountain
 
 I was weary and I was tired of the view
 
 If I could chalk it up to one more thing
 
 Then I guess we had one hell of a time too few
  
 
 That's just lines in the sand
 
 And that's better than in my own flesh and blood
 
 It's gotta take a lot to learn to love
 
 How I wish I knew what it was
  
 
 I'm not quite alone but maybe I should be
 
 I'm not really honest babe and that's not really fair
 
 There's a force of power that I keep with ambiguity
 
 And the rest that I'm not prepared to share
  
 
 That's just lines in the sand
 
 And that's better than in my own flesh and blood
 
 It's gonna take a lot to learn to love
 
 How I wish I knew what it was
  
 
 And all the tightropes and the fences
 
 That we have tread to not pass the point of friends
 
 In a strange way it's often easier
 
 If it never really starts
 
 Then it never really ends
  
 
 And I'm drawin' a line
 
 That's better than in my own flesh
 
 And blood (flesh and blood)
  
 
 It's gonna take a lot to learn to love
 
 How I wish I knew what it was
