I’ve been all around
I've been up and down
Every sorry street till I found
All the little secrets in this town
You see, I've held the door
For both rich and poor
I've heard their sorry sighs a million times
You’d think they’re marching off to war
Someone told me once
That I should lighten up
I took a breath into my lungs
And meant to say “I'm lighter than the sun”
But then I just breathed out
All I did was just breath out
Now beauty’s there
She does her hair
She’s standing right in front of me
She wants me and she needs me and I'm just scared
The sun is peeking in
And I'm just sneaking in
A look at her, she lays asleep
I never cared if I was strong till I was weak
I surprise myself
Now I find myself
Getting past the age I never thought
That I would make it to alive
I wanted to flame out
I wanted to flame out
So now I'm riding out
I'm timing out
The seconds and the minutes and the hours
As they trickle by me now
The days are long
But I'm getting on
And I'm holding onto her and holding on
And holding her and holding on
I once heard a song
It wasn't long
I heard it in the hills and it was shrill
But beautiful and it was gone
I wanted to reach out
I wanted to reach out
