Crossroads of Knowing

The corner shop

is where it always was

The pavement cracks I memorized by heart

I know the timing of the traffic lights

I know which alleyways will lead me home

But standing on this familiar street tonight

I feel like a ghost who is completely alone

Every doorway has a face I used to know

I have the map

etched in my mind

But not a single path that I can find

Lost in the town where I was born

Staring at the signposts ripped and torn

I know the names of every single street

But I don't know where to put my feet

The old theater is a parking lot

The playground where we used to run

It's funny how the things you haven't forgot

Can make you feel like your time is done

Lost in the town where I was born

Staring at the signposts ripped and torn

I know the names of every single street

But I don't know where to put my feet

No

place to go

But I know it all

I know it all
