I remember one Columbus Day When I was young and learned the world was round There didn't seem to be a lot to say But I had trouble keepin' both feet on the ground But now I stick to you I know just what to do, I hold on I remember lookin' at the sky So thick and blue that I went tumblin' in Out the window, knowin' I could fly I flew as far as where the ground begins For you I'll use the door I don't do that anymore, I hold on All the black and blue that I stumble through for you Will never show I have a simulated grace to help me keep my place And never let you go, I'll never let you go If you could see the world the way I do With nothing keepin' up or keepin' time Your sense of self would tear your heart in two While you try to tell the world you're feelin' fine Inside that's how I feel So I reach for something real and hold on All the black and blue that I stumble through for you Will never show I have a simulated grace to help me keep my place And never let you go, I'll never let you go I might make these revelations With the ghostly imitation of a smile It's the best that I can do and I'll do my best for you And hope it lasts for a while
