You can always tell 'cause you know me well With my pupils wide I'm under cast spell I paint a picture for miles And hang it on the wall So if my memory fades I can still recall Oh a sharp turn can change everything Energy flows in every direction And some days I wish I had some white out And if did there's never enough time Energy flows in every direction And some day I hope to figure it out To busy looking forward to begin in the now I try to slow down and pace But I don't know how Sitting idle for hours has turned into days Consumed by my thoughts of you In another place Someday I'd like to play a part in my life I've waited to start I bet I could live it well If I take deep breaths and exhale So little time what am I do to? I want my cake and I want to taste it too Is that really so much to ask for? You got your head up into the clouds You want to live in glorious autonomy Oh that's what it really comes down to
