Lying to myself
Trying hard to be someone else
Foolish games we play
Trying to piece together happier days
It's in the palm of our hand
Still in all you just can't understand
How a life can seem so long
Then pass you by when you're not feeling strong
But oh how I know
That there's a long way to go
And oh, all I know
Is the wrong way
The wrong way I know
Searching in your eyes
Trying to leave you just the least bit surprised
How I love to see you smile
Some things they just take a little while
It's in the palm of your hand
The universe, all the grandest of plans
I know you're shooting around the moon
But come on home love
It can't be too soon
