Line In The Dust

I'm walking outside
 And I see you arrive
 I say let's go for a ride
 And have a good old time, whoa
 I'm saving up lies
 Or just stay quiet every time
 While you talkin' your line
 Keep everything fine, whoa, fine
 Between us, I can see
 Things are not what they used to be
 My old friend changed
 Or maybe it was me
 Things get so complicated
 Jokes made, friendships dissipated
 Long silence but I speak
 Now so belated
 I say, hey, wait a minute
 What's that you said?
 Not so sure that I heard you right
 Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute
 Oh, say that again
 You're in the dust
 Drawing a long straight line
 We'd be playing outside
 We'd swing on the swings
 Shared most everything
 Sit there and even sing
 Now I sit and wonder
 Why it's a friendship charade
 Looking for fights all day
 I don't want to play, whoa
 But I do, here we go
 I fire off another lame remark
 You're in the dark
 No bite, just your bark
 But it leaves a painful mark
 Oh, painful mark on your soul
 Takes its toll
 I might as well fold
 I've got my courage up
 Gonna roll low
 I say, hey, wait a minute
 What's that you said?
 I'm not so sure that
 I heard you right
 Whoa, oh, wait a minute
 Say that again
 You're in the dust
 drawing a long straight line
 We talk and talk
 But you never see
 Unreconstructed defiantly
 My old friend changed
 Or maybe it was me
 Things get so complicated
 Jokes made, friendships dissipated
 I've stayed quiet
 So we don't get alienated
 I say, hey, wait a minute
 What's that you said?
 I'm not so sure that
 I heard you right
 Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute
 Oh, say that again
 You're in the dust
 drawing a long straight line
 Wait, wait a minute
 Oh, say that again
 Watch yourself drawing
 A line in the dust
