Kind of Lost

Original lyrics © Donald McCullough

If I were to tell you

That I’ve been kind of lost of late

Would you be terribly surprised?

And if I were to tell you

I’d be leaving you soon

Would you say you’d seen it in my eyes

We put our dreams on hold

For the sake of surviving

In a world that’s not worth living in

And struggle to achieve

A balance between

Not giving up and not giving in

Would you listen

If I tried to tell you how I feel

Or just offer your plastic replies?

Would you take notice

If I tried to show something real

Or would you just avert your eyes?

Would you be willing to sing my song

Or even just carry my tune?..

By the look in your eyes

I can tell to you it’s just a flow of words

A eulogy for the sheltered soul

Who’s trying to light the way

Striking matches in the rain

And once again I’ll surrender

I’ll bow to your will

I’ll throw this one like all of your games

If I were to tell you

That I’ve been kind of lost of late

Would you be terribly surprised?

Or would you say you’d seen it in my eyes?
