She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells With a restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves She thought the world was hers, so she made sure it bent beneath her will She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills She was certain she could take this town by storm The wonder of sound and light seeking a form But somewhere along the way The dots didn't all connect The promise became regrets Somewhere along the way The dream and the circumstance Continue their tortured dance Somewhere along the way She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist The 5 a.m's, the worried friends the parting of her lips But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist How her only plan in life was getting lost How she took me to the edge and made me watch But somewhere along the way The running just lost it's fun It happens to everyone Somewhere along the way Her trail became too obscure But that was her signature She would talk about letting go, I guess I didn't understand Giving over to the currents that were there since time began And on a long drive from El Paso to the Pacific Ocean cliffs I finally felt connected to the continental drift But somewhere along the way I started to smile again I don't remember when Somewhere along the way Things will turn out just fine I know it's true this time Somewhere along the way

I used to walk with you Along the avenue Our hearts were carefree and gay How could I know I'd lose you Somewhere along the way? The friends we used to know Would always smile "Hello" No love like our love they'd say Then love slipped through our fingers Somewhere along the way I should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering everything You're gone and yet There's still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of me So now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon I'll find you Somewhere along the way I should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering everything You're gone and yet There's still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of me So now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon I'll find you Somewhere along the way Somewhere along the way

Oh, whoa, whoa... Walking along my merry way Singing a song, I will be gay I found a love and love is here to stay Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Walking along, just feeling glad Singing a song, I won't be sad Oh, happy day I'm just walking along When I'm walking Feel just like a king When I'm singing I don't care about a thing The reason I feel the way I do You love me, whoa, I love you Walking along my merry way Singing a song, I will be gay Oh, happy day I'm just walking along Oh, whoa, whoa... When I'm walking Feel just like a king When I'm singing I don't care about a thing The reason I feel the way I do You love me, whoa, I love you Walking along just any way Singing a song, I will be gay Whoa, happy day I'm just walking along Oh, whoa, whoa...
