Colors changed in hue
From gray to blue and orange in the evening light
Finally I could paint
The picture that I'd only seen when I was just a child
Of taking the long way around
Of chasing my dream all over town
Of finding a way to reach the sky
With ever out having to leave the ground
But every damn time
I feel one step forward
The other's lagging behind
Hours get shorter each time
Days, they end
Faster and faster each time
I could be so happy in
So many ways, if I could just stop and pick one
Instead I re-run each scenario
And where it goes, until I'm stuck, and up and left with none
I could take it all in, lay out my doubts
Cut and run from the scene, scrub my fingerprints out
Of the mess that I made while I was trying to figure out who I was
Every damn time
I feel one step forward
The other's lagging behind
Hours get shorter each time
Days, they end
Faster and faster each time
Every damn time
I feel one step forward
The other's lagging behind
Hours get shorter every time
Days, they end
Faster and faster each time
Faster and faster each time
Faster and faster each time
