Back To Square Two
Andy Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a long and interesting ride for sure
Then again, time has no meaning here
If only I could describe the sensation
Like walking on clouds of smooth silk
Light everywhere, bright and binding
I know I've been down them all before
That is, all of them except for one
Of course it’s clear to me what I have to do
Which door I have to take
Everything so obvious on the other side
This is not the end, only the beginning
A gateway to the rest of the universe
And so the journey begins...
