Change

I've been waiting here so long for this

For you to give that old idea the slip

And see how those who are alive have lived

Some would say it's sweeter than the life you've lived of late

But that its sweetness is the bitter taste

Of giving everything you are away

You're going to have to change

Change the way you see

You'll have to change your mind

I'll bet you wanted more from life than living it

You'd like to swim but you just can't commit

And you're afraid that you might drown in it

But diving in, even in knowing that you cannot swim

You've got to die before your life begins

And underwater learn to breathe
