I Said, You Said

I said everything gets broken
You said waves break on the shore
I said give what you can keep
You said I can promise no more

I said the last are the first
You said the slow train goes far
I said space really does curve
You said wish upon a star

I said life is a round-about
You said leave by another way
I said pick up where you left off
You said it’s all child’s play

I said time is a spiral
You said the river only flows
I said once upon a memory
You said the elephant knows

I said watch where you step
You said rock paper scissors
I said don’t dance with a bear
You said don’t kiss a lizard

I said this has got to stop
you said if I have time
I said stay in tune
You said but it’s my rhyme

I said it has to get better
You said time wounds all heels
I said shadows can’t fly
You said that’s how it feels

I said go where you’re going
You said stay where you’re at
I said don’t chew your water
You said don’t talk through your hat

I said watch out for potholes
You said the road always rises
I said the mountain is sinking
You said I like surprises

I said see you later
You said let’s see what comes after
I said you get the last word
You said let there be laughter
