when i was a kid years ago

wide eyed with a future slow

you tried to get me to change my view

and i saw what ignoring dreams would do

there was a time it was hard to see

shine a little light down on you and me

i see my life in passing years

and i dont want to still be right here

so how well can you see this ending

how much will you take before you break
how far will you go knowing what you know now so how well can you see this ending

you were a little scared and i bet

you haven't made up your mind just yet

you're not alone but it's hard to tell

cause everybody else hides so well

i've having trouble knowing who to trust you shine a little light down on us i've got to find a way through the maze i want to go to sleep and sleep for days
