Somedays my life comes together
Then it all comes apart
I am told i have ambition
Where i should have a heart
I have something on a long rope
Swinging wide either way
I dont' know what's passing through
From what's here to stay
I have quite a history
Of chasing after rainbows
Finding there's a thunderstorm
At the other end
If i don't learn the first time
I won't learn the next time
What god did not make cautious
He gave a lot of thread to mend
Chorus:
Someone read my mind out there
Take my hopes and dreams
And build me a prayer
Can you find the words
To the madness in my head
I'm a little bit lost a little quietly led
These blue eyes they get grayer
Year after year
It sure ain't from lack of trying
That no one got lost in here
I am told that i try too hard
It isn't lose or win
And that no one can get lost
If you're always rushing in (chorus)
I think someone was lying
When they called this world round
It feels like one sharp corner
And a long way down
You are taking my ambition
When you're taking on my heart
If you can really read my mind
You know they do not come apart
