Napkin Art
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was running through the streets, when I got home
I had lived eleven springs, mama’s little boy
On a napkin I had drawn a man with one guitar an voice
Something I swore one day would become true
One chance to make me feel
That I can still hold to this
Promise my future holds
I can see clear it’s
Not too far
One dream that came alive in this
Napkin art
One moment captured in my eyes still
One heart might get broken
Yet eyes wide open
Stars in my own mind
Only true need to feel as one
Twenty years came by, drawing’s on the wall
I see my friends with boring jobs, feeling in control
While I'm caught up in this college desk
And write a thousand lyrics for
Deep inside I know this ain’t where I belong
Live a life of make believe
And spark this young-blood’s riot
Though I’ve been here before
Can’t spin this wheel no more
Not too far
One dream that came alive in this
Napkin art
One moment captured in my eyes still
One heart might get broken
Yet eyes wide open
Stars in my own mind
Only true need to feel as one
All it takes for me to feel alive
Is the purpose I’ve chosen
Over always feeling satisfied
With a life I’d be lost in
So long been hiding in the dark
But the shadows, they taught me
That I came out to tell my story
Not too far
One dream that came alive in this
Napkin art
One moment captured in my eyes still
One heart might get broken
Yet eyes wide open
Stars in my own mind
Only true need to feel as one
Stars in my own mind
Only true need to feel as one
