Like me

Looking through my mind today
Trying to find the words to say
The thoughts that seem to be escaping me
Wanting more than what you've seen
It's like you're living inside a dream
And you can't control the mind to set you free

You tick your days away
You tick your days away
You tick your days away
And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me

Learning more as you grow old
Sometimes it seems so cold
Like there's something working hard to keep you down
Try and raise your head again
Surround yourself with friends
And stay up on your toes so you don't drown

You tick your days away
You tick your days away
You tick your days away
And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me

Eyes have opened up the door as if it's real to be
Allowing you to see, allowing you to see like me

Lot's of faces along your way
Some move on some they stay
But each one shares a hand in shaping you
You know there are many who came before
You got this feeling you're not quite sure
But there's something in this realm that you must do

You tick your days away
You tick your days away
You tick your days away
And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me
