Target Practice Lyrics
Toss and turn through sleepless nights
That fail to bring me rest
A stomach full of big ideas
That press upon my head
There are better ways to learn
My body runs too far ahead
And leaves me to myself
But when I open up my mouth
Nothing dares comes out
Winding wind and talking trees
Bring the world down to its knees again
There are better ways to learn
There are better ways to learn
I fall and I learn I am and you are
Walking backwards through my room
Circle in the dark
Waiting for the my time to come
But waitings left its mark
Stick my hand across my mouth
To keep my thoughts from spilling out
There are better ways to learn
There are better ways to learn
I fall and I learn I am and you are
If I am slow to answer you
You'll know me by my breath
That raises hairs upon your spine
And pushes on your chest
That fail to bring me rest
A stomach full of big ideas
That press upon my head
There are better ways to learn
And leaves me to myself
But when I open up my mouth
Nothing dares comes out
Winding wind and talking trees
Bring the world down to its knees again
There are better ways to learn
I fall and I learn I am and you are
Circle in the dark
Waiting for the my time to come
But waitings left its mark
Stick my hand across my mouth
To keep my thoughts from spilling out
There are better ways to learn
I fall and I learn I am and you are
You'll know me by my breath
That raises hairs upon your spine
And pushes on your chest

Canon Blue is pure magic for me. This song is, in my perception is about a guy who feels vulnerable to everything and everyone because he is captive of his own mind. He can't sleep because he can't stop thinking about life and contemplating his ideas. He's depressed, bored, unsure of what he's doing in this world, unsure of why he's unsure. I get the feeling it's about a guy who just can't figure it out, but in his heart knows there are better ways to learn...how to live.
