I have a lot of musical ideas to improve on this, but it's a rough start. The twist is in the end.
lyrics
Dissonance in innocence
Every time you look my way
Pull my strings
Like a Marionette
Make me forget
Make me forget
I can’t say when you call my name
A word that comes to mind
Millions dance
But have no chance
To ever feel free
They escape me
I could take the interstate
But back roads lead the way
Try to find the pieces that
Were thrown out in the weighing past
But someone must have come along
While I was kicking dirt and stone
Making wishes, bottles and jars
Thinking I would catch a shooting star
Now there’s nothing, not a trace
blank page shining on my face
Everything’s erased
Even the date
Chalk it up to fate
Hurry up and wait
Maybe if I sing a song
It will find it’s way where it belongs
Bending your ear
Nostalgic tear
Meeting a smile
Stay for a while
I could take the interstate
But back roads lead the way
Your thumb out just waiting for
Me to come along with more
Than I was willing to stake
Another life, another day
You know I can wait
Till I’m old and gray
When we meet at the old folks’ place
Sharing scars and Chardonnay
