A simple plan, the perfect scheme An unbounded dream, the red carpet at your feet

It’s eroding like sand, Slips through your hands, and scatters before you. Resembling patience too late—you’re too late.

What you say and what you do It doesn’t matter, no one’s watching you

Dreamt of this most of my lifetime. Feels close and yet so far away. One day I’m gonna capture that star shine, thrown away.

In time—the tide will barrel over you And suck you out into the blue Always happens to—unsuspecting youth I know the truth

Some things are supposed to happen; meant to be/ Welcomed or unavoidabe. You just can’t help it, can’t you see?

One day, I'll tell you everything. One day, you’ll know the truth; until then.

Life is what you make it, just reach out and take it. Remember it’s your own heart; don’t be careful not to break it.

But nothing ever changes, and nothing stays the same. I can’t pretend to understand Elaine.

That Friday I came home was feeling great. Things were going so good I said let’s celebrate.

It’s all I could do, all that I could say. Last thing I deserve: to be turned around and pushed away.

Standing alone again, I’d walked two hundred miles. I’d put myself up on trial.

Love fades fast, and the comfort slow. All too soon, you’ll know; you’ll know.

Now every day brings terror; every day brings shame. There’s only so much time you can take the blame. So please forgive me, tinsel eyes.

Ten steps to a new life—but I walked them backwards. Does that mean I have an old one?
