So I started walking
And I started thinking
How will I know

It's a mouthful of minutes
You stumble and you're in it
And man when you're in it
It goes where it goes

Looking down from the top of that hill
Is the view just gonna stand still
When the lights go out have I earned my standing O
'Cause when I move from here to ghost
What's gonna matter most
The wrecks, the breaks, that one night in Marseille
I did thirty-two thousand days
What's the takeaway

There's no demanding
When you're the last one standing
Who do you tell

Is it all just something
Or just good for nothing
Is there a prize
For ringing the bell

Looking down from the top of that hill
Is the view just gonna stand still
When the lights go out have I earned my standing O
'Cause when I move from here to ghost
What's gonna matter most
The wrecks, the breaks, the things I meant to say
I did thirty-two thousand days
What's the takeaway

It's a long way to travel
When the wood hits the gavel
How did I do

Am I leaving at believing
And I'm leaving it at even
It's a hell of a thing
It's a hell of a view

Looking down from the top of that hill
Is the view just gonna stand still
When the lights go out have I earned my standing O
'Cause when I move from here to ghost
What's gonna matter most
The wrecks, the breaks, the ones that could not stay
I did thirty-two thousand days
What's the takeaway

Looking down from the top of that hill
Is the view just gonna stand still
When the lights go out have I earned my standing O
'Cause when I move from here to ghost
What's gonna matter most
The wrecks, the breaks, the lives I could not save
I did thirty-two thousand days
What's the takeaway
