Verse 1

With every sun that sets I am feeling more

Like a stranger on a foreign shore

With an eroding beach disappearing from under me

And when my mirror speaks it never minces words

That these eyes don't shine half as bright

As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while

Chorus

 'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds

 In a mess of fading lines

 And there's a tangled thread inside my head

 With nothing on either end

Verse 2

I always fall in love with an open door

Or the horizon on an endless sea

As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me

And then my mirror speaks with irreverence

Like a soldier I can't command

It sees the frightened child in the body of a full-grown man

Chorus 2

 And he's a man who hides from all that binds

 In a mess of fading lines

 And there's a tangled thread inside his head

 With nothing on either end

 There's nothing on either end

Solo

There is two ways you can play the bridge. I like option 1:

Option 1:

A new position for a different view

But nothing changes but the slightest hues

Option 2:

A new position for a different view

But nothing changes but the slightest hues

When I am standing face to face

Chorus 3

 With a man who hides from all that binds

 And a mess of fading lines

 And there's a tangled thread inside his head

 I'm a man who hides from all that binds

 And a mess of fading lines

 And there's a tangled thread inside my head

 With nothing on either end

(2X)

 There's nothing on the ends

 No there's nothing on the ends

End on E.
