Honesty

from Dovetail

Well I'd longed for so long not to expect it
But still our plans must pass the filters of daily circumstances
There's more than enough to keep me guessin'
And every letter received brings a certain relief of a second chance

Like open invitation
Givin' me the right of way to send on more information
It's good to know how things are goin'
I'm just happy to be someone she likes to have wishin' her well

Honesty, honestly
How can I begin to convince myself

The moon was hangin' in the west
Reachin' our own time zones, gettin' ready for bed
And how was I to know when we met
We'd begin to make a blanket from such a long thin thread

And I'm so tired of resisting
Holding back for fear of what might be missing
And these old fencepost limits
They were put in by me, who's to argue if I should take them out

Honesty, honestly
How can I learn to build without
Honesty, honestly
Learn to live without these doubts
Honesty, honestly
How can I begin to convince myself
Honesty
