The Cadences of My Life (glimts from the teens) I stood beside Watching life happen to the others Ill catch up I saw them smile Being casual and naturally calm Their days would flow But the sky was near and so lucid autumn blue A forgiving sign for what might later come true I felt the same I didnt pretend I just had to take a longer detour On my own I never went Looking for the fun I heard about It was near and filled with dreams They made it clear What they found I wouldnt understand Ill catch up But the sky was near and so lucid autumn blue A forgiving sign for what might later come true It didnt feel like me I didnt pretend My voice came from someone else It wasnt me And I just had to joke it away Joke it away Into the night or just the next day
