Ode From The Aspect - Blues Traveler

A chance again to diatribe

You’ll go along if you’ve imbibed

My mannered tones of dire cost

And if something gets translated lost

Again I seek to hide the same

As though we’ve never stopped our game

And all the tidings I could bring

Have never really changed a thing

Dependent on each other we

Kept infinite the you and me

That never really set us free

Or too lonely was the place we’d be

But for all I’ve ever tried to tell you

I just couldn’t seem to say how much I care

And speaking as the aspect that befell you

You’ve come to mean my universe out there

For all the right or wrong I’d done

I had to share it with someone

The true the lie the in between

Their implications what they mean

A troubled tale or trophied turn

Within my heart they’d only burn

Til the echos on the acetate

Reveal what we can all relate

Then freely we can share our pain

And know that we are not insane

Or at least a frenzy we can own

It’s enough for me I’m not alone

But for all I’ve ever tried to tell you

I just couldn’t seem to say how much I care

And speaking as the aspect that befell you

You’ve come to mean my universe out there

I stumble to the floor and only then see that I’m climbing

I can fall right up a staircase

Just as easily as down

'Cause hope can flip a building on its end and in the timing

Needs a hand

Or else it lands

Within the sand

Without out a sound

A chance again to double down

Perhaps a way of standing ground

For every sin that took a toll

By every rescue of my soul

Each choice I made to turn to you

A thing I had to learn to do

So grateful I could see it through

Almost as if you always knew

I choose again to share anew

As if compulsively on cue

More karma for we happy few

Whose destiny’s the devil’s due

And yet I’m thanking God for you

But for all I’ve ever tried to tell you

I just couldn’t seem to say how much I care

And speaking as the aspect that befell you

You’ve come to mean my universe out there

Searching for the dawn until it’s we who are both shining
