And it starts like this We crave to be kissed by a moment complete in its happiness Far away from the things that we wish to escape That lead us to think that we are not awake We are ourselves despite ourselves This place gets smaller as the universe swells We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor And I am not the only lifeguard who's washed up on the shore Wake me up, take me out Call me down when I'm in doubt And I'm in doubt every day Words are like weight with density and shape, modifying forms they evaporate You can choose the truth, you can listen to light You can lead the charge and still lose the fight Far be it from me to claim anything For I am just one in a state of being I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually I am not the only proverb that never really fits And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids Wake me up, take me out Call me down when I'm in doubt And I'm in doubt And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends Into its time all things pass All things fade, all things last You are yourself despite yourself This world grows smaller as the universe swells We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually And I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight Wake me up, take me out Call me down when I'm in doubt And I'm in doubt every day Na na-na na-na Na na-na na-na Na na-na na-na Na na-na na-na And it starts like this We crave to be kissed by a moment complete in its happiness We are ourselves eventually eventually eventually I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
