Stumbled on the Truth
Drew James © 2006

We can see
But it’s way too bright
We’ve turned a blind eye so long we’re just not used to this light

We can speak
But words can’t make it right
They all fall in and out of our deaf ears here tonight

We danced around and around each lame excuse
Until we stumbled
We stumbled on the truth

I can reason
But I can’t comprehend
Why this wound we suffered is not the kind that time can mend

I can wish
But I just can’t pretend
The last lines of our story will somehow have a rainbow end

(Chorus)

The clock sets foot on midnight at our foolish masquerade
The band strikes up the final tune they have left to play
If we keep our masks in place for just a little while more
I’ll take your hand for one last dance out there on the floor

“Once more for the old times” can be our lame excuse
It’ll be just like before
Before we stumbled on the truth
