And if you're singing about a sail you're really singing, you're singing about the sea
you're singing about those secret places you secretly want to be
and if you know the city, then why can't you find a place to get your haircut
well, some questions are tough
some don't got answers at all

and if you're really over it, then why you wanna go back to visit
why you want to put that record on and take another listen
that's exactly the sort of attitude that's brought you back to your front door
maybe that's what this song is for
it's the porch light you left on

and maybe your friends will learn to be friends all over again
all over again
all over again
all over again ...

well if you got some magic there
well now, now is the time to use it
now is the time to prove yours or lose it
but if you hold that magnifying glass up real close up to your face
you'll see god up the nose
know I've always loved that nose

and maybe your friends will learn to be friends all over again
all over again
all over again
all over again ...

'cause that's the way you walked in
and that's the way you will walk out
