(Dreams, they're for those who sleep)
(Life is for us to keep)
I suture self after I cut a groove 'cause I don't know no other move
My rudder screwed, I paddle 'gainst the current mood in spite
A clever ruse in time to think that better views I'd find
Along this narrow path that winds and forks I'm forced to pick a tine and
Define trajectory of my life
I could swim out where the waves are if you'd just give me a sign
That what I've got here on this line is worth an exit from the brine
Or am I rye chips in the Chex mix only some folks seem to like
I'd still be grateful for the bites
But the payroll isn't stable
I can't stay full living tight
Making pizza out of bagels every late meal isn't right
Seeing peers that played it safer's putting hazel in my eyes
Need an angel on my side
But I got demons planting seeds of doubt within my mind
What's the reason to aspire when the season's lost it's spice?
I could be sleeping, 'stead of living bland and walking blind
So when that final sandman visit comes, I'll greet him with a smile
We can make it if we try
(I really think that we can make it)
Together you and I
We can make it if we try
(I really think that we can make it)
Together you and I
Who am I kidding?
I can't make it through a day without a lapse in faith
Every night I lay awake and contemplate mistakes
And wasted time that slowed my haste until I stood in place
Start to think I sealed my fate chasing what I chase
A second wind would set me straight
But I can't do shit about the weather 'cept endure it
The same way I can't foresee the future, nor ensure it
It's not important
I treat the world like it's a story
Only in it for the lore, it's getting deep
And I can't see me anymore
Just a shadow on the page
A form that's been adorned with a name and a horse in this race I ignore
'Cause it's more than just these games
And I'd rather see us free in the plains instead of reigned
Waiting for the moment where I change, it never comes
Facing the opponent that remains, we are one
Or maybe none
Something less together than undone
Riddle me not what we made, let it fade in the sun
We can make it if we try
(I really think that we can make it)
Together you and I
We can make it if we try
(I really think that we can make it)
Together you and I
