If you had to make it matter, but you just canât find the words
When youâre waiting for an answer that youâve already heard
Then youâre drowning in the moment âcause you never leaned to swim
As the distance grows between the shores, you know how this could end
Are you thankful for your well wishers, who put you on your way
Or bitter âcause your currency is lost in the exchange
So forget about your handfuls, when itâs worthless youâre sublime
As the sun begins to grow red youâre running low on time
I have to wonder, are you stuck under clouds of possibilities?
Or canât you turn against those urges? Theyâll desert you, guaranteed
If nothingâs certain then thatâs worse than this confusion as it intrudes on you and me
If you fit into your pattern, it should come as no surprise
As it's the safest the stars that shatter you learn to be polite
So be hopeful as a candle is worried for its flame
The more that you could handle here, the less you feel the same
I have to wonder are you stuck under clouds of possibilities
Or canât you turn against those urges? Theyâll desert you, guaranteed
If nothings certain than thatâs worse than this confusion as it intrudes on you and me
