Lyrics Ode From the Aspect - Blues Traveler

A chance again to diatribe
You'll go along if you've imbibed
My mannered tones of dire cost
And if something gets translated lost
Again I seek to hide the same
As though we've never stopped our game
And all the tidings I could bring
Have never really changed a thing
Dependent on each other we
Kept infinite the you and me
That never really set us free
Or too lonely was the place we'd be

But for all I've ever tried to tell you
I just couldn't seem to say how much I care
And speaking as the aspect that befell you
You've come to mean my universe out there

For all the right or wrong I'd done
I had to share it with someone
The true the lie the in between
Their implications what they mean
A troubled tale or trophied turn
Within my heart they'd only burn
Til the echos on the acetate
Reveal what we can all relate
Then freely we can share our pain
And know that we are not insane
Or at least a frenzy we can own
It's enough for me I'm not alone

But for all I've ever tried to tell you
I just couldn't seem to say how much I care
And speaking as the aspect that befell you
You've come to mean my universe out there

I stumble to the floor and only then see that I'm climbing
I can fall right up a staircase
Just as easily as down
'Cause hope can flip a building on its end and in the timing
Needs a hand
Or else it lands
Within the sand
Without out a sound

A chance again to double down
Perhaps a way of standing ground
For every sin that took a toll
By every rescue of my soul
Each choice I made to turn to you
A thing I had to learn to do
So grateful I could see it through
Almost as if you always knew
I choose again to share anew
As if compulsively on cue
More karma for we happy few
Whose destiny's the devil's due
And yet I'm thanking God for you

But for all I've ever tried to tell you
I just couldn't seem to say how much I care
And speaking as the aspect that befell you
You've come to mean my universe out there

Searching for the dawn until it's we who are both shining
