Hot on the Trail

Well, you don't like that way that I am
 It's not the way that you want and the way you understand
 But I can't help being the way that I am
 It's just the way that it is and what I know, so sorry about
 All of these things that I be and I know
 It's all me and not you, but this ain't how I wish it to be
 For you and your way and I know it's all me
 Just know that I know, I know it's all on me
 All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance
 Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
 Hot on the trail of a real fine life
 This could be what it means to be alive
 Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
 Love is infinite like sun rays
 I know what I need to be me
 And I know being me makes it hard to see
 Oh, standing on a precipice isn't new
 Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue
 All this, call this what you want, but it makes me feel alive
 Stowed it, showed it, now I know it can't be in my mind
 It was foreign, pouring, I've been storing this for a long while
 I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune eventually in time
 But you don't like that way that I feel
 It's the way that makes you feel worse all of the time
 And I know that it's not okay for you
 And it's not for me and is for you
 So sorry about all of these things that you didn't sign up for
 And I don't wish the pain on you, it's so sore
 But I've been honest to fault, but it doesn't help
 I know that it hurts, and it hurts, and it keeps on hurting
 Every single time, we try and try to make things right for you and I
 We just kept digging, digging it deep
 Below our feet 'til we started to sink
 And I didn't know what, what to do
 I told myself the truth, the truth
 And I could understand and you could understand
 But how could we stand when there was nowhere to stand?
 And all the little things that get under our skin
 Didn't make us better in that heavy weather
 I hope that it's better, but never upsetter
 We took our hands, made some vague plan
 All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance
 Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
 Hot on the trail of a real fine life
 This could be what it means to be alive
 Can't be too sure, but it feels the right way
 Love is infinite like sun rays
 I know what I need to be me
 And I know being me makes it hard to see
 The distance hasn't always been clear
 But finally, with our love, it could appear
 And you don't like what it is (you don't like what it is)
 And you don't know what it is (you don't know what it is)
 And I can't sum it up easily
 But I know what it is that I plainly see
 Yeah, who could have liked what it was?
 It caused such a fuss
 My heart placed in your hand
 Then we gave love a chance, and
