So now here we stand, so much farther than I ever thought we'd get to
Did I scare you?
So now here I stand with my heart in my hand,
Wondering how we got here
Hey! all I ever wanted is gone,
All I ever said to you is gone,
All I ever gave to you is gone,
Just look around and you will see there is so much more left to me
So now here we stand, looking back on all we said,
Words are like the needles- stabbed by the volumes I've read
So now look at my heart, bruised and battered, twisted and lame,
But you would say that I had it all my way
So now here we stand so much farther apart than I ever thought we'd get
to
I see myself, I wish I could call my name and save myself from that
shame.life is a road life is a plan
life is a role life is more than it seems
enlightened delighted
confused or clear today is your day
there's a world in a world outside
they're all the same when you stay inside
getting the news from here and there
blocking thoughts before they turn into lies
switching on switching off
when you're on your own you belong to yourself
and the night is alright
and your days get better and better in every way
just slip down your sleep to enlighten tomorrow
'till you go flashing up the sky
there's a world in a world outside
they're all the same when you stay inside
life is a road life is a plan
life is a role life is more than it seems
enlightened delighted
confused or clear today is your day
run around get over
and the night is alright
and your days get better and better in every way
just slip down your sleep to enlighten tomorrow
'till you go flashing up the sky
