Picking up the guitar
As the days sled by
Ever wondering why she denied
Odds been rising
I've always been a good guy
So why have I been denied all the things that I like
Can you tell me why

It's dark cross to bare
But eventually you'll get there
It's a long road to walk
All down
It's like a feeling you know when
Till you drop the max
And you drop the directions
If you give up the perfection
You might find everything you'll ever need

Running in the park
Is that all I got to do to make my dreams come true
I see chances rising
Now I got this far
I ain't gonna give it up
No one is gonna stop me now
It's mysterious rising

It's dark cross to bare
But eventually you'll get there
It's a long road to walk
All down
It's like a feeling you know when
Till you drop the max
And you drop the directions
If you give up the perfection
You might find everything you'll ever need

I keep going and I ain't stopping
I keep on walking in a straight line
I ain't slowing down
I ain't dropping out
I keep on living my own life
It's dark cross to bare
But eventually you'll get there
It's a long road to walk
All down
It's like a feeling you know when
Till you drop the max
And you drop the directions
If you give up the perfection
If you give up the perfection
If you give up the perfection
If you give up the perfection
If you give up the perfection
