to make one's way along a path or course

[bhanson]

do you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle
or have you ever had the sense
that we've been lying just a little
i mean come on
it's not like we've known ourselves that long

and i can't say i really blame you
for being bored with the beginning
always staring at the score
to figure out who's barely winning
but don't you know
there is a reason strong moves slow

and i'm okay
if you're okay with wasting time
but when we trace
you always see the bottom line

we are tracing
i hope you know
we are tracing

and if you want to know the moment
i knew that i was still alone
i found i never learned your number
i only stored it in my phone
you'd think by now
i'd know the shape of calling home

and i'm okay
if you're okay with wasting time
but when we trace
you'll always see the bottom line

we are tracing
i hope you know
we are tracing
we're both alone

do you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle
or did you ever have the sense
that we've been lying just a little
i mean come on
it's not like we knew ourselves that long
