Caution to the Wind

about

This was supposed to be the first track I finished for the follow up to this record. Nothing accompanied it.

lyrics

I wanna show up on your radar
And then hold back from moving in
The outer rings will let me stay far
To remove the human element

You're just perusing for survivors
Hoping that I'm tired of
Searching for a bait without a hook
The passion I admire
Speaks with such hellfire
Dodging every misstep that we took

To take white flag from out my raincoat
Re-route the course I've plotted in
You've got me circling the same boat
And there is no way I'm climbing in

The lure is gone, yet still I'm throwing caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind
Tossed into the bin
It seems I can't help caving in

Caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind
Tossed into the bin
It seems I can't help caving in

I'll let you pull down on the sails
If you let me leave this whirlpool
The current out here isn't stable
And I fear i may be changing you

Although you've got hold on the wheel
Turning even keel
Hands are firmly placed on ten and two
The trip has lost appeal
And really starts to feel
Like compass hasn't help to point you through

I think I'll turn around and stay home
Cause there's clearly nothing keeping you
After the struggling we came for
I'm glad I'm not anchoring to you

Caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind
Tossed into the bin
It seems I can't help caving in

Caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind
Tossed into the bin
It seems I can't help caving in

Caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind (oh)
Caution to the wind
I'm throwing caution to the wind (oh)

You're reeling back to pull me in
I'm throwing caution to the wind
