Great Big

I can’t weep anymore

For childlike wonder

Or my past

Or my past life's innocence

And I can't keep waiting

For things far beyond me

I'm so stretched out from searching

But I'm starving for what I need

Oh I heard you lie

That to live is to die

But you don’t grow because you don’t know

But you can if you’d like

Placing wings on the soul

While you're still growing old

Take a minute and breath

There's still something to reach

Unclenching your fist

Because the thing you resist

Turns out was your whole damned life

Maybe make believe is paint on a life turned gray

And turning old is a lie holding you in place

Well I weep for minds that wander

There’s no map back down to earth

Can someone call my head, because it seems my eyes have blurred

Life got caught on cruise control

Can you help me back to speed

You can look but you won’t really see

The fight inside of me

And maybe make believe is just the price for the brighter day

And maybe turning old is fine if it can’t hold you in place

And it’s just a matter of time

Watch me as I unwind

Held together like a crumpled paper ball

Another stanza of the ever-playing song

And maybe make believe is paint on a life turned gray

And turning old is a lie holding you in place

La da da da da oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa

La da da da da oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa
