Lyrics

I thought I knew just where I was going when I started down this road,
But it seems like maybe I’ve gotten lost or maybe lost control,
I know I came just the way I planned but now there’s nothing I recognize,
Still, looking back inside my head it just doesn’t seem that far,
As the crow flies.

If I’d known then what I know now it still wouldn’t be enough,
Because the only thing I’ve really learned is that this road can get so rough,
I thought it through, every detail down, but somewhere I compromised,
‘Cause when I look back inside my head it just doesn’t seem that far,
As the crow flies.

As the crow flies there’s nothing but horizon,
All sense of time and distance fall away,
As the crow flies there’s just no denying,
That what you thought was black and white was just shades of grey,
As the crow flies.

Now with tired hands wrapped ‘round a coffee cup I pick at loose threads in my scheme,
It seemed so easy at the start, an all too common theme,
But seasons change and colors fade, time slips off all disguise,
And when I look back now inside my head it still doesn’t seem that far,
As the crow flies.

As the crow flies there’s nothing but horizon,
All sense of time and distance fall away,
As the crow flies there’s just no denying,
That what you thought was solid gold was just simple clay,
As the crow flies.

As the crow flies.
