When You Come Around ©2007 Richard March and Tyler Ragle She left her keys swinging in the walk-up door Figured she wouldn’t need ‘em any more Crossed the bridge and found herself another free ride Staring at the tail lights Frayed at the edges Killing time along the crooked seams Hazy mornings, messy barroom scenes Swimming chaos of her mind Her rusty heart is heavy, frozen closed from all the pain A’ letting one too many lovers leave it lying in the rain The place you imagined ain’t the place you found Another voice is calling you to make your way Out to the proving ground When you come around Stars were dancing Circles out the windshield as the moonlight froze ‘Tween what she hoped for and the things she chose Like the ripplin’ on a pond Eyes close and those lights are gone She slipped her shoes off, singing softly with the radio “Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.” Flashing vacant, keeping time Her lonely heart is heavy, holdin’ onto precious stones She tells herself they keep her safe, besides its all she’s ever known Now the place you imagined ain’t the place you found First step is the hardest if you take that leap into the outward bound When you come around When you come around When you come around
