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
