Simple eyes, no not mine, But imagine the difference Of a child's life of nothing but dreaming. All the while, I sit hoping to feel that again After all I was once there before. So he smiles at the girls Plucks one out like a flower Thinking maybe I've found something here. But the night goes away and the girl aforementioned She is pensive and defensive, asking questions How many girls have you had in that loft up there Now I don't mean to step across the line But at the same time, I need to know if you'll be on my side And do you know what it means for me to sleep up in your bed Each time hoping this is something But it seems to you instead To be no different from a meal you eat But this one isn't dead, my lonely friend I can't keep doing this, I'm sorry but this has to be the end. How can you think so hard and have so many rules When life is nothing but a puzzle board A picture that we move within, Listen We're just the pieces of the world To push together boys and girls And you know that if you fit then you can stick together But if you don't and try to push to hard You just might bend the edge apart And you'll never fit with anyone Be damaged forever, never to be the same As your freedom turns to loneliness, saying it Wasn't supposed to be this way.
