I've heard of somewhere just beyond my life so far
Of worlds entangled up with my design
But within reason, with great care, without the neighbor's car
I only make it halfway every time
And you'll say that potential's much better
You go all in, and you can never dream
What could have been, had you opened up that door
You'll say don't you know darling, it's trouble out there
Got to know what you're doing
But I don't really care to be a wise man anymore
You've got to play the fool sometimes
And I don't wanna be selfish,
But maybe you're helpless to save me
If you're the one drawing the lines
I'm tryna step right through, so I'm
Leaving you with my letters
If it makes you feel better
It'll feel like you're coming along for the ride
You'll get to play the fool
I've seen them waiting for a place where they belong
Asking why they don't get past the door
So it doesn't really matter if I'm right or I am wrong
The right ways never seemed to work before
But you'll say baby, you're gonna burn out
You'll learn someday, life punishes the brave
They don't like it once you've left the world they knew
You'll say baby, it's bad out there
The world's out to get you
But I can see how far that your wisdom's gotten you
You've got to play the fool sometimes
And I don't wanna be selfish,
But maybe you're helpless to save me
If you're the one drawing the lines
I'm tryna step right through, so I'm
Leaving you with my letters
If it makes you feel better
It'll feel just like coming along for the ride
You'll get to play the fool
