Great Big

I can’t weep anymore
For childlike wonder
Or my past
Or my past life's innocence

And I can't keep waiting
For things far beyond me
I'm so stretched out from searching
But I'm starving for what I need

Oh I heard you lie
That to live is to die
But you don’t grow because you don’t know

But you can if you’d like
Placing wings on the soul
While you're still growing old

Take a minute and breath
There's still something to reach
Unclenching your fist
Because the thing you resist

Turns out was your whole damned life
Maybe make believe is paint on a life turned gray
And turning old is a lie holding you in place

Well I weep for minds that wander
There’s no map back down to earth
Can someone call my head, because it seems my eyes have blurred
Life got caught on cruise control
Can you help me back to speed
You can look but you won’t really see
The fight inside of me

And maybe make believe is just the price for the brighter day
And maybe turning old is fine if it can’t hold you in place
And it’s just a matter of time
Watch me as I unwind

Held together like a crumpled paper ball
Another stanza of the ever-playing song
And maybe make believe is paint on a life turned gray

And turning old is a lie holding you in place
La da da da da oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa
La da da da da oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa
