Shadowboxing while I lie in bed
Shallow box of thoughts locked in my head
And try as I might, I'm losing the fight
I am always striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can't hit
And I've spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind
Everybody wants what they don't have
Getting to the point and taking laps
Around and circling back
You start where you were last
Everybody's striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can't hit
And I've spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind
Oh well we'll just get over it
I do it time and time again
Oh are we walking on a wire
Or am I?
Maybe I'm just striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can't hit
And I've spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind
