I used to laugh, I used to cry

I used to do everything I wanted to

I don't know when, I don't know why

But somewhere I must have lost that guy I knew

With a drink or two

Any bad excuse would do



I would like to quit my job, take a trip around the world

I would like to live for love, but I'm scared of being hurt

I would do so many things if I just could break the ice

But I'm paralyzed



Where will I be in twenty years

If I cannot change, I just don't wanna know

The days go by, I don't know why

But it's kinda hard to rearrange your life

When your fear's your gloom

Any bad excuse will do



I would like to dive for pearls, but the water's way too deep

I would like to live my dream, but I cannot even sleep

I would like to taste the rain somewhere close to Paradise

But I'm paralyzed



I would like to play guitar, but it's always out of tune

I would like to write a song, but I cannot find a rhyme

I would do so many things; I just have to break the ice

But I'm paralyzed



I used to laugh, I used to cry

I don't know when, I don't know why

Where will I be in twenty years

I don't know, I don't know
