lyrics

I rely on the advice
Of all the poets who write their way through my life
They dictate to me the way I should live
Stops me regretting the things that I did

But I’m still not him

I guess that I could maybe try
Try a challenge to throw it back at them
I know that soon there’ll be rivers of tunes
Waiting for someone to reach in and grab one

I’ll see love later but for now there’s not much later left
If I crash, refresh me and the feeling can be kept
So close your eyes and listen to the world that’s around you
Listen as the catch releases on the thoughts that bound you

You see, think logically
And the answers find their way to your mind
Give yourself leave to take what you need
Cause if you don’t then you’ll overheat

Just like me

The clouds may drift and the waves may pass
But the consistency will help you relax
Climb the trees to feel the breeze
And the glow of the sun upon your backs

I’ll see love later but for now there’s not much true love left
If I crash, refresh me but the feeling won’t be kept
So close your eyes and listen to the prison cell around you
Listen as the catch releases on the cuffs that bound you

Take one step back before you go all the way away
I don’t know if I’ll remember you when the imprint fades
I’m not the man that I always set out to be
He’s out of sight, out of mind, and out of reach for me
