Is it any Wonder

Nice to meet you old friend, Please
allow me to shake your hand, It seems
while I went away, you stayed
You made your world bright
You held tight to everything right
A smile like the sun

And I, I went away, straight ahead I ran
into a forest with no path
Taking action with no plan
It couldn't last in
a world so overcast with ambition
I didn't understand why I kept tripping

So I stopped and I looked left, and I looked right
But there was not a sunny soul in sight

Is it any wonder I don't know who I am
Is it any wonder I feign confidence
Is it any wonder I keep it casual
The older I get the less I know

When I took your hand in mine
I felt part of the world I'd left behind
It felt like home,
I didn't want to let go, not alone
But that question in your eyes...
I don't know

So I stopped and I looked left, and I looked right
You were the only sunny soul in sight

Is it any wonder that there'd be you and me
Is it any wonder it'd be so confusing
Is it any wonder it feels so comfortable
The older I get the less I know
