sitting still as stone
watching...
people walking by me
wondering why
no one ever stops to talk or thinks about if they ever did

what if god shuffled by?

one day we might see
by doing not a thing
by breathing just to breathe
we might find some reason

but it's rushing around
seems what's wrong wtih the world
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til you're dead
dream

lying on the roof counting
the stars that fill the sky
wondering if
someone's in the heavens looking back down on me
i'll never know

so much space to believe...

funny when you're small
the moon follows the car
there's no one but you see
hey, the moon is chasing me

i worried if i looked away she'd be gone
don't lose the dreams inside your head
they'll only be there til you're dead
dream

walking through the woods
with no cares in the world
the world she's come to play
she's all mine just for a day

there's no time to waste in the play of this game
don't let the troubles in your head
steal too much time
you'll soon be dead
dream

all fall down
it won't be so long now
out of the darkness comes light
like a flash
you think you can you think you can
but sometimes that is the problem
dream
little darling
dream

spinning on the wind
the leaf fell from the limb
but every day should be a good day to die
play

all fall down
it won't be so long now
every fire dies

i find it hard to explain how i got here
i think i can i think i can
but then again i will falter
dream

i think i can i think i can
i think i can i think i can

dream
little darling
dream

spinning on the wind
the leaf fell from the limb


oh man. you never know has gone on repeat on my computer for the first time in a long time and it's bound to stay like that for days. this song IS life. it explains the cycles and highs and lows and uncertainties and triumphs and tragedies perfectly. musically AND lyrically. and the best part is that as i grow and change, the meanings grow and change too. i've honestly never encountered a song with depth quite like this one.

for example, "i wonder if someone's in the heavens looking down on me...i'll never know..." there was a time in my life where i was at a show, and that line was so positive. filled with such awe and a feeling of how fortunate i am. it echoed how grateful i was. and then there was a time in my life where the line expressed my emptiness and loneliness and confusion with equal precision.

right now i'm in a "out of the darkness comes light, like a flash" phase. hopefully i won't falter. i know i'm bound to eventually for some period of time, but right now...i'll just keep dreaming...
