Dark Side of the Rover

I miss you I love you, takes more than words to explain.
The anger, the laughter, the forgiveness and the blame,
This picture of summer, washed denim blue against white sand,
It’s colder the water, it doesn’t always go to plan,
And I know it wasn’t you, inner conflict took over, when you failed to make it through, the dark side of the rover.

An actor, a teacher, the greatest friend the childhood foe.
A human, the process of holding on and letting go,
And I know it wasn’t you, inner conflict took over, when you failed to make it through, the dark side of the rover.

Threading the water, through and endless sea of doubt, I know exactly what those feelings are about.
Running the gauntlet between pleasure and pain, crossing the borders of deranged and insane
And I know it wasn’t you, inner conflict took over, when you failed to make it through, the dark side of the rover.
