Straight and Narrow

I've found a beautiful life

An idyll of green, where all I do is sing

And I'm desperate to show you the sights, sometimes

The tranquility could almost be enough for me

.

I don't want to hurt you, but I'm thinking about it a lot

I'd be callous in the moment, but sorry long before I was caught

I remember how love feels every time I see you

And in between I wonder why I'm not blue

I just wish you were here to keep me on the straight and narrow

.

My memory has always been clear, yet now it's failing me

My thoughts an echo chamber of the faces I always see

What's wrong with me?

How can I let all that we meant slip out of focus

Then smoothly return to where we were now that I know this

.

I don't want to hurt you, but I'm thinking about it a lot

I'd be callous in the moment, but sorry long before I was caught

I remember how love feels every time I see you

And in between I wonder why I'm not blue

I just wish you were here to keep me on the straight and narrow
