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