"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test and don't ask why,
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time."

"I think we need new responses,
each question is a revolving door...
Yeah, my life may not be somethin special,
but it's never been lived before."

This is a really tumultous time in our lives. Maybe that's not the right word, maybe it's confusing or awkward or even ambiguous. There are so many turning points, it feels like the whole world is open wide, and yet you really have so little control over some things. We're little ducklings in the water, paddling like hell - but we hardly know which direction to go, and the water keeps moving us along....

"Feels like reckless driving when we're talking,
it's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking,
but no one's going to sympathize when we crash,
they'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask,"
and we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try,
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky...."
