In The Way

I was staring at the sunset
Wondering if there was an easy way
To forget why the sky looked like a
Blaze of burning trees a thousand miles away
And just enjoy the picture

But there’s something in the way
There’s always something in the way

I was standing on the shoreline
With my daughter watching endless waves
I wanted to believe it all would
Be there for her kids to see one day
Instead of underwater

But there’s something in the way
There’s always something in the way

I listened to the lightning coming
Close as primal fear crept through my brain
I thought it seemed so natural
That simple distance keeps our doubts at bay
so we can play with fire

There’s something in the way
There’s always something in the way
