lyrics

I was thinking man
How hard it’s gotta be
To live inside a life outside a dream

It’s one thing to be sad
Another lonely
The difference is a desert, yea, the difference is a sea

In the worst case, it’s a big deal
In the best, it’s not so bad
From a distance, that’s a small hill
Never mind the fears you had

On second thought though
Fear’s what makes you
And if it builds you, can’t it break you,
Do we grow from the suspense?

Who was it that said
Nobody knows best
Oh me, well I, I do believe it’s truer than the opposite

We’re shooting arrows at some hay,
Sometimes we call it a target

It’s one thing to be wrong
And one to disagree
The difference is tiny, to an infinite degree

I was thinking man
How empty sky can be
I don’t believe in ghosts or angels, but I’ve been wrong about things
