lyrics

I wish I could go back in time, oh way back before my time,
when memories lived on inside a different state of mind.
Now everything is complicated and mobile phones are overrated,
Humans are so segregated, love is undermined.
We all dance to different songs, some rise high some scrape along,
The streets to which we all belong but we’re falling behind,
On compassion and rationality, whilst holding back profanity,
We breed dysfunctional families because we’re never satisfied,
With the lives we choose and the lives we take,
So we close our eyes when we’re wide awake,
We’re walking blindly into our fates as our mountains subside.

I don’t know where to start, because every time I wake this world is falling apart.
Dreams grow high inside a child’s heart, now the world is big and my love is vast.
the world is big and my love is vast, the world is big and my love is vast
the world is big and my love is vast, the world is big and my love is,
Dreams don’t last

Sometimes I like to sing old songs, in a different key, get the words all wrong,
From an era I wish I belonged to long before my time.
If imperfection is the key to the greatest works of artistry,
we would only be so free if we could all agree,
That with every rise there comes a fall and no one ever has it all,
I come prepared for the longest haul we’ll be laughing when we meet
At the end of the earth, where the sun goes down
and you’re wearing diamonds on your crown,
If all i have when I look around is a long list of defeats,
I’ll smile because I tried it all, all the sex and the drugs and the alcohol,
Life gets you down you take control, you’re back on your feet.

I don’t know where to start, because every time I wake this world is falling apart.
Dreams grow high inside a child’s heart, now the world is big and my love is vast.
the world is big and my love is vast, the world is big and my love is vast
the world is big and my love is vast, the world is big and my love is,
Dreams don’t last
