crossed the line

Ben Harper

There's something really wrong this time
If I can only hold the line
Then I can put it back the way
it's meant to be (the way it's meant to be)
It's moving really fast and fine
And every little wish is mine
It's something in the way it always seems to be
All about you

So I sow my message to
The broken part of you
I should have known I crossed the line
When it feels like something new
Sinking part of you
The pressure's grown, I tripped a mine

Following the old guidelin?s
And leave my old common sens? behind
There's gotta be a way
that we can all agree (that we can all agree)
The flesh is soaking in the brine
The atrophy is undefined
It's funny just the way it always seems to be
All about you

So I sow my message to
The broken part of you
I should have known I crossed the line
When it feels like something new
Sinking part of you
The pressure's grown, I tripped a mine
Well I'm a slave to the wind and the water
I gave blame to the birds and the bees
And I will live in the mind of the downer
And now I hate
And my mind is the seed

So I sow my message to
The broken part of you
I should have known I crossed the line
When it feels like something new
Sinking part of you
The pressure's grown, I tripped a mine

I should have known I crossed the line

I'm a slave to the wind and the water
I gave blame to the birds and the bees
And I will live in the mind of the downer
And now I hate, and my mind is the seed
