Elevator Music Lyrics

If you and I were young again and time was free and clear

I might be on a different road so many miles from here

Tomorrows come and go so fast I cannot see the light

It's hard to find the message or the reason for the fight

I can't sing tonight

I got no song

The words seem trite

But you sing along

And instead of making symphonies of melodies and rhyme

It seems we're making elevator music

Just to pass the time

Well inside some strange museum I've been traipsing for awhile

Upon the wall in black and white a picture of my smile

An artifact from yesterdays that came and went too soon

I'd like to sing that song again awe but I can't find the tune

I can't sing tonight

I got no song

The words seem trite

But you sing along

And instead of making symphonies of melodies and rhyme

It seems we're making elevator music

Just to pass the time

Softly as my world escapes into another beer

I see the tears upon your face they seem to be sincere

Awe but all that every leaks from me is anger pride and pain

I'm a wrecking yard of useless dreams awe but still I can't explain

I can't sing tonight

I got no song

The words seem trite

But you sing along

And instead of making symphonies of melodies and rhyme

It seems we're making elevator music

Just to pass the time

Well you took me into paradise a couple times or more

You tore my chest wide open and then I begged you to explore

A tender heart that you possessed is now possessed by fear

And I'm sorry that I feel this way I'm sorry but it's clear

I can't sing tonight

I got no song

The words seem trite

But you sing along

And instead of making symphonies of melodies and rhyme

It seems we're making elevator music

Just to pass the time
