Say it all along
Delusions hanging on
She said it's not enough
What price to pay until you're done?
I don't want to know
What you've become and all you've done
I can't stand the way things are
and how they've been
I know you'll never see the difference
Commanding opportunities
Intruding in on everything
Make a scene in disarray
Should break the ice a bit but you're astray
And I don't want to know
What you've become and all you've done
I can't stand the way things are
And how they've been
I know you'll never see the difference
This is the end of what could be
Shifting view again it's plain to see
I'm moving up and over this one
And I don't want to know
What you've become and all you've done
You'll never see the way things are
And how they've been
Sometimes you gotta learn the difference

Before we crash
Head first through a busy street
I'll take you out with me
And tell you all the things I'm missing
Everything around me
Is shaping up to be
Overdrawn
And overwhelming
I never learned
How to sit back and take it in
Can't let it go and I
Can't relax and I'm losing my mind
Everything around me
Is shaping up to be
Overdrawn
And overwhelming
The ground beneath the wheels is crumbling, its hold is letting go and gone
You wanna drive?
I don't mind
I don't think I can fix it myself this time

Now that you’re older and these days aren’t going
as fast as you might have hoped
and you’re stuck knowing
I’ll take it for granted that I’m stumbling into something new
I see by your face it’s not the best we can do
The sudden swell of the setting and
my lacking sense of direction
are moving hand in hand
Now that you’re older and these days are going
faster than you could have planned
Left with the stain of intention
Office windows and coffee circles
It’s hard to feel like you’re moving through
But I’ll make plans and I’ll start it again
A source of contempt and it’s setting in
It’s hurting your wasted potential
It’s a curse and a blessing
it won’t set you free

I've been walking through this house
Deciding what to keep and what's been lost
And I know just what you're thinking
I'm hanging overhead
Getting nowhere but I'm not scared
I think I'll try
To save you from this mess
Don't tell me that you're used to it, it's fine
I know this isn't what you had in mind
I'm hoping for the best but sometimes
My head keeps spinning and I
Can't tear myself away in time
to keep my head above the water
Trying not to bother
This might be the first
day I'm feeling comfortable
It's true, they say you never know
But every day we grow and I can see
this place is meant for me
I think I'll try
I'm learning from the best
These days I'm pushing harder than before
Just save the hard times
I'll be back for more
Don't remind me, I'm halfway out the door
My head keeps spinning and I
Can't tear myself away in time
To keep my head above the water
Trying not to bother you
Won't push my luck
I'll test the water
I'm holding back
what's undiscovered

20 steps can separate
the fastest hare from the slowest snake
Can’t depend on you to split the difference
I’ll forge a path despite the interference
I need more than you can manage
I need more but I can’t take advantage
If we don’t fight for ourselves who is left to try
There’s no advancing a drip that’s left to dry
You can be stagnant and stubborn yet
I’ll do my best to ensure expectations are met
Convoluted mess but that’s what I get
At least I’m trying for a new horizon
I need more than you can manage
I need more but I can’t take advantage
If we don’t fight for ourselves who is left to try
I can't stand still with doubts on my mind
If you’re not careful that knife can slip
Turn a simple task to an emergency trip
My hands are scarred to show, marked across the board
One slight movement wrong can be disastrous
I need more than you can manage
I need more but I can’t take advantage
If I don’t fight for myself who is left to try
I can’t sit still with doubts on my mind
