Here I sit smack dab in the middle Tomorrow is a crazy riddle I wish I had a crystal ball I wish I could see 5 years on Like candle rockets you and I Oos and ahs and shouts and sighs Is this the storm before the calm? I wish I could see five years on But I can't and you don't And you try and I won't Broken trust can be repaired But it'll take some time To get us there But I will and you won't You try and I don't We lose a little higher ground Every time we go around We always seem to look behind And say if we'd known at the time But there's no one here to read my palm I wish I could see five years on If we fail or if we fly No one can say that we didn't try Has the final card been drawn? I wish I could see five years on But I can't and you don't And you try and I won't Broken trust can be repaired But it'll take some time To get us there But I will and you won't You try and I don't We lose a little higher ground Every time we go around Round and round We're lost, then we're found We can't change words The ones I wish we hadn't heard There's no map or 12-step guide We do what we can't justify And it's always dark before the dawn How I wish I could see five years on I promise you promise me And still there are no guarantees Is this the last verse of the song? I wish I could see five years on But I can't and you don't And you try and I won't Broken trust can be repaired But it'll take some time To get us there But I will and you won't You try and I don't We lose a little higher ground Every time we go around
