Defined Lyrics

Have I thought this for a long time? I don't know.
Can you see a twist in the line and let it go?
If you've known this for a long time you don't say.
It seems fast, if only because you looked away.

What makes you pull your hand
From mine and set it firm on the wheel:
Is that so I can't convince you?

Who told you that you couldn't have
Both at the same time?
Up close, I can't fault you for your reason.
If you want I will hear,
With no insinuation.
