So you think that you have problems
Well, I've heard that song before
And before your mind is gone, you're gonna hit the road
Well I know that's not the answer
Cause I've left this town before
And as soon as you're gone, you're gonna turn those wheels around

You've got to read between the lines
And let each second tick
And turn the corner slowly
When the roads are slick

So, you say you'll keep on going
But you left some tracks behind
Better cover them up, or you'll be haunted by the past
When Jesus comes a running
You say he's out of line
So, you turn your head and fly the other way

You've got to read between the lines
And let each second tick
And turn the corner slowly
When the roads are slick

So, you put on your crown, but you know it won't fit
And you put on your robe, but it's much too big
And we'll give you a sceptor, but your fingers can't reach
To touch the stars, just your imagination

So, go live in your kingdom
Of dead eternity
But you're only a sprout that sits alone in the shade
And you never will see the sunshine
Or feel the rain trickle down
If you have any plans to grow, you'll only go down

You've got to read between the lines
And let each second tick
And turn the corner slowly
When the roads are slick
You've got to hear the children's cries
You've got to see the children's tears
Or you will wilt in time, throughout eternal years.
