All my life i've been trying to go nowhere fast.
I look outside and watch the world go by.
But as I look I wonder 'has all this really passed?' And would I still be here the day I die? Do I really wanna kiss my life goodbye?'
It's been the same old pattern.
The life of a fool
It's not that good but things could be much worse
When someone told me lately the one and only rule
It's up to me to change my future first
Get up and go find out what it's worth
The kings and queens look back at me
But what I need are aces in between
The kings and queens are safe and sound
But they won't help me turn my life around
Only I can turn my life around
Sometimes the old went flying and in came the new
I opened many doors to take a chance
Cowardly I came to senses and never followed through
I always stopped and stayed right where I am
But now I know the world is in my hands
The kings and queens look back at me
But what I need are aces in between
The kings and queens are safe and sound
But they won't help me turn my life around
Only I can turn my life around
The place where I feel safe will be always in my mind
But to appreciate it all I'll have to leave that place behind
I'm gonna open up my soul like I've never done before
And even if I'm gonna fail
I'll be gaining so much more
The kings and queens look back at me
But what I need are aces in between
The kings and queens are safe and sound
But they won't help me turn my life around
Only I can turn my life around
