lyrics

I guess I wish that we could say
Everything we want to say
But things just don't work out that way
But life just don't work out that way

I wish that I could disconnect
And hide up in a big oak tree
But no one would ever let me
And I'd be lost in rambling

I wish I could change up my past
Become something better than I am
But I don't have the time for this
But I don't have the time for this

And I wish time would just stop for me
So I can see the things I want to say
But I won't get what I want in life
That's just how it is, alright

And God works in mysterious ways
All he does is take take take
And what about little old me?
Stuck between two eternities

What if time solidified
And the fog cleared out in front of my eyes
Would I run away like I would think?
Would anybody follow me?

The last breath that I'll ever take
Will be full of heartbreak
At least that's what I hope it'll be
But I guess we'll just have to wait and see

The smell of death lingers in this place
All these unwashed hands and murmurings
Please just turn off the TV
I can't understand the things you see

The bodies pile faster now
The children they cry louder now
Why won't you just let me be?
Please just stop these tragedies

And yet we all keep living now
We're the lucky ones that stand tall and proud
Why are we so unhappy?
Whatever happened to me?
