lyrics:
Eighth floor, downtown south
Sat on the couch
Told my story
Twenty-eight years gone so slow
Nowhere to go
All for family
Mistakes were made, hidden in the dark
Where do I start
From a place called lonely
Balloons for birthdays
Books at bedtime
Pigtails in the mirror
Practice at nine
Everything’s ok
Perfect and fine
I’m runnin on the wheel
I’m walkin’ a fine line
There was always that time that it wasn’t enough
Not enough stuff
From all up to down
Makin the rounds, talk was cheap
Never too deep
Hear the silent sounds
Starved for touch, so confused
How do I use
The sadness found
Candles for cakes
Swimmin’ at the pool
Sleep over tonight
Piano after school
Everything’s ok
Perfect and fine
I’m runnin on the wheel
I’m walkin’ a fine line
Further apart, it began to grow
Hitting new lows
All Around all success
Beginning to find the reasons why
Maybe I can try
To find more with less
Crossing lines with similar ways
Listening pays
When you must confess
Another class trip
A new prom dress
Learner’s permits
Bedrooms all a mess
Everything’s ok
Perfect and fine
I’m runnin’ on the wheel
I’m walkin’ a fine line
Eighth floor, downtown south
Sat on the couch
That’s my story
Twenty-eight years, now in the past
Gone so fast
Found my family
Blood lines, makin’ me whole
More to my soul
Living truthfully
Caps, gowns, and tassels
Traveling abroad
Acceptance with no hassles
Grad school on board
Everything’s ok
Perfect and fine
I’m standin’ on the wheel
No more a fine line
liner notes:
A song about how family life with kids can be so “perfect” but the relationship with your partner can be broken.
