And more important escape me
I helped her find her shoes
And for the better part of this life
And for the better part of this life
I never think to ask

I only wish that I knew more
I only wish that I knew more
I only wish that I knew more

While all the airplanes circle overhead
We curse eternity’s patience
And fortune waits for chance encounters now
But keeps its hands where we can’t see them
We can’t see them
We can’t see them
We can’t see them

Fortune hunter divine the water
Runs in clear conscious pools
Blur and streak the days
For all the precious time it takes

And for the better part of this life
For the better part of this life
For the better part of this life
For the better part of this life
