For Things That Haven't Come Yet

I saw the best minds of my generation

passed out in their prime

cuz we were waiting for a suitable time for waking up

I must have looked in your eyes

about two thousand times

but I never saw a sign

no nothing to say, this was a time for giving up

and if somehow you still believe in love try not to let it hurt so bad

don't you know that you always

had everything that you need

if there's something in the stars above the sights

our sentiments, and masses of gasses

I would swear, it still wouldn't have drawn itself to me

but why should it?

I had a dream about parking lots,

and shopping malls, and lines

the only words anyone could muster

were just lies, and lies, and lies,

and am I ashamed, am I ashamed

to engage in these infantile notions of pain

when we wake up its always the same

though I hope everything is okay

I took a walk in your shoes

you know that I got the blues

thinking bout how there's this wall

they made climbers of us all

till we eventually fall and

so you talk about your ideals

like they're not how you feel

like they're a dream you hold inside

an old plan left unrealized until the day that it died

well if you're waiting on the world to change

don't waste you precious heart

oh, I know that you are too

smart to think that it will

that sure is one way to live

but one day something has got to live

and if you're not ready

well you're sure to fancy yourself, oh so still

so don't try so hard

for things that haven't come yet

don't live your life like it's already gone

don't listen to the closed set

its nobody, just trying to make them self feel better with a song
