Lyrics
I've thought about the things I need
I have contemplated the things I require.
And I'm willing just to let them be
I am willing to allow them to exist as they are.
There's nothing that I'd want anyway
There is nothing else I desire anyway.
That could take the place of you and all the things you do and say
No other thing could replace you and the impact of your actions and words.
We've come so very far in such a little time
We have made significant progress in a short time.
And looking back there is only you that I find
Reflecting on the past, I find only you.
Who was willing to give and maybe lose
You were willing to give, even at the risk of losing.
You've got me tying up my walking shoes, these walking shoes
You have influenced me to take action, represented by tying up my walking shoes.
Twenty years on the run
Twenty years spent in constant motion.
I've only known a setting sun
I have experienced only the end of each day.
Burning out on a lonely road
Feeling exhausted on a solitary journey.
I've come to feel a lighter load
But now, I sense a lighter burden.
Twenty years on the run
Reiteration of the two previous lines (11-14).
I've only known a setting sun
-Burning out on a lonely road
-I've come to feel a lighter load
-Now it's time we can turn the page
Now is the time to move forward and begin a new chapter.
I believe you and I have come of age
I believe both you and I have matured and developed.
All along it was there to see
All along, it was evident what was meant to be.
What was really meant to be
The true purpose or destiny is now clear.
Oh baby, it's a game, it's the only one in town
Addressing the relationship as a game, the only one in town.
It's a game all the changes going 'round
Recognizing the changes happening in the game of life.
It's taken twenty years to get it on the way
It took twenty years to set things in motion.
Oh, all I had to do was play, all I had to do was play, yeah
All that was required was active participation, just playing the game.
