Speeding on by without a care in the world
You look out shyly as the fireflies twirl
Only one way in, one way out
But still your mind is filled with doubt
Scenes flash before you but there's no time to look
As you flip through the pages of your romance book
People surround you but you couldn't feel more alone
Each on their own journeys with their own way to go
The colours race past you, beautiful as can be
But you have no more time left to see
Far away from home you make your way
Down this straight path with nothing to say
Cursing the man-men and beating the damned
Feeling the skin of your lost lovers hand
The rocks build up slowly as we lay our scene
A cursed hand wraps around your echoing dreams
But wildflowers bloom in this sea of despair
They make their way home without a worry or care
You know of nothing to come or what will come after
Your cries drowned out by a small child's laughter
----------------
The rainbows are slowly fading black
I've wasted all the time I can't get back
You say it's not too late, so save this
The blue skies are quickly fading gray
I have no more words left to say
You say you want me, so take me
And as the rain is pouring down
My feet are slipping on this ground
You say you know me, so tell me
Why is the sun bleeding into the air?
Why does it seem like you care?
You say it's not real, so prove it
So here we go for the 100th time
Searching for the words that just won't rhyme
You say you can't leave me, so love me
------------------
Always put your best foot first
Sustain your hunger
Quench your thirst
Praise God you're alive, for it is His will
Treat smiles like drugs
And hugs like pills
Savor the moments you want to last
Embrace who you are
Don't cling to the past
Songs don't have to be deep for people to sing
And love isn't measured by the size of the ring
When it's cold, wear a jacket
When it's hot, show some skin
Just think of this wonderful world we are in
It may not be perfect
There's war and there's hate
So when it comes to love, why do we wait?
If you love her then tell her
Life's all about risk
Eventually we all fall for this world's silly tricks
Smile in good times
Cry in the bad
Just remember the wonderful journey you've had
