Undercurrent

The road forks up ahead
Should we take this or that one there
These kind of indecisions
Leave my worn out senses bare

You know me, I'm just as likely
To take the one less-traveled lightly
And let it all unravel on the gravel
While we end up upended somewhere

It's a constant undercurrent
Yes, a constant undercurrent
Dragging us down and under water
But I keep coming up for air
To find you waiting there

I'm fairly uncertain we'll succeed
The constant question is what is left
Discarded on the trail behind me
In heated moments torn and bereft

I'm just no good at otherwises
You've known me through all our surprises
And what gets me through the compromises
Is the funny way you turn from right to left

It's a constant undercurrent
Yes, a constant undercurrent
Dragging us down and under water
But I keep coming up for air
To find you waiting there

Look at what's become of what we were
It could be worse, I guess
That's all for sure and unrehearsed
We can't erase it like a curse
It leaves a mark we won't confess
Even in the silence of a hearse

All this comes clean between a glance
This game of chance cuz what is life
This game of wonder filled up with charms
You pack 'em up with all the strife

It's a constant undercurrent
Yes, a constant undercurrent
Dragging us down and under water
But I keep coming up for air
To find you waiting there…
