Casting Lines - Jack's Mannequin

You learn to run, you learn to race

Through life, this unforgiving pace

These lines we’re tracing to the truth

And stepping over endless cracks

I navigate these crooked paths

But all my roads lead back to you

And who are we to argue fate?

And who is time to make us wait?

I’m standing here with nothing left to prove

And we’re still coming home

A thread through the unknown

And all the lines we cast into forever

Tangled like some wreckage in the road

A road we walked alone

Where all the time that’s passed held us together

And all the lines we cast will bring us home

It’s a long way but I’m coming home

And all the time I kept the score

I never grasped what love was for

You always gave me what I need

To know it’s true and to still ask why

To break the bonds and raise the sky

You tear the soil from the sea

But who am I to argue fate?

And who are you to walk away?

I’m standing here with nothing left to prove

And we’re still coming home

A thread through the unknown

And all the lines we cast into forever

Tangled like some wreckage in the road

A road we walked alone

Where all the time that’s passed held us together

And all the lines we cast will bring us home

It’s a long way but I’m coming home to you

And who are we to argue fate?

And who am I to think this way?

I’m standing here with nothing left to lose

And we’re still coming home

A thread through the unknown

And all the lines we cast into forever

Will come back when the weather hits the road

A road we walked alone

Where all the time that’s passed held us together

And all the lines we cast will bring us home

It’s a long way but I’m coming home

You learn to run, you learn to race

Through life, this unforgiving pace

These lines we’re tracing to the truth
