In quiet hours, still I listen to breath you take And I wonder what you about
How far come we were young Our now undone So I what you dream about
In mind I might be Pushing to greater heights But Icarus, the flames are real And turn into nightmares
I know my wings might falter up in the sky But I don't to fall, I want to fly
I never saw as one who went outside the lines Our life's momentum takes us, and in an it's behind us
It's sacrilege to take of the blind But what about uncertainties work to cloud our mind? If our perception us to go astray, Who can help us try to our way?
I never saw myself as one whose was just a race out of control But in the I see the lines grow deeper on my face
It's sacrilege to take advantage of the But what about uncertainties that to cloud our mind? If our causes us to go astray, Who can help us try to find our
When I look back on all that's When I look on choices I have made I regret the contours of my path? The broken cobblestones that I paved?
We're only given just so many sunny We're only so much time to build a life Our choices all along the way construct a And when our is up we could be trapped inside in fantasies and never to return
While we are building, tearing down or making The days are vanishing, the world won't fail to Choices have consequences, limiting our And yet the weight of outcomes cannot be them wisely, child
It's hard to look around me now at everything I And not derive from it all Dreams made real, and the unforeseen has played out well But is contentment the of growth? Could I have what might have mattered most?
You have been something else when you were younger You must been something else when you were free all that you had was time and the world of choices was yours And you me You must have been something when you were younger You must have something else when you were free When all that you had was time and the of choices was yours
We spend half our lives repairing bridges that our actions helped destroy But it's still so for us to recognize that a life is such a fragile toy We half our lives making disguises; we perfect and use them as our tools Then all of our remaining years searching for someone we cannot fool
At day's end we'll throw out our disguises with to defend At day's end we'll pick up all the pieces and to live again
you look back on all that's happened, would you do it all again? That's the honest measure of our Knowing then what you know now, you choose me once again? That's the carrying most weight at day's end
I know my wings have faltered up in the sky But even if you're falling, there's still to fly And looking with dispassion at the choices I made I know it's self-defeating to carry regret my grave
I that there's a reason why my road returns to you And why, despite the we both had to fight through We both have had our doubts, but I we know it's true That you remain the best of me, and I the of you
And all our struggles, and time we've cried They're meaningless in our embrace 'Cause we're still standing, and can prevail Against a love that's to be
At end we put down our disguises with nothing to defend At day's end we pick up all the pieces and learn to again
