A Lyric Without A Song

He said…“You can’t get there from here.
You need to retrace you route.”
To get better you must get worse.
Now, what’s that all about?

Life is full of yings and yangs.
The night is a half the day.
I wish I’d never known the dark,
But it doesn’t work that way.

(Chorus)
I can’t get there from here.
I can’t find my way back.
I can’t get there from here.
There must be some way back.
I can’t get there from here.
She’ll never take me back.

(Verse 2)
You must be sick or dying
Before you can get well.
It seems to get to heaven,
You must live through hell.

If you have something to lose,
It means you’ve found it before.
You can’t ‘get’ having less,
Unless you’ve once had more.

(Chorus)
I can’t get there from here.
I can’t find my way back.
I can’t get there from here.
There must be some way back.
I can’t get there from here.
She’ll never take me back.

(Verse 2)
You both must start as singles
Before you become a pair.
You can not know happiness
Unless you have met despair.

You won’t know when you’re nasty
unless you can be kind.
You can’t even go home again
until you’ve left it behind.

(Chorus)
I can’t get there from here.
I can’t find my way back.
I can’t get there from here.
There must be some way back.
I can’t get there from here.
She’ll never take me back.
