lyrics

What used to get me by
Fells like a thimbleful now
This weathered smile just shows how far
I have let myself go dry

Well you never start out saying
I know I’ll never change
Why would you tell yourself that lie
Just to save yourself some pain

Pushing through the days
I’ve been reborn ten thousand times
Wishing for that grace
To see the world unfold in some new way

An’ my mother said to me
Don’t you waste the gifts you have
Those words they echo back in time
To right before I fall asleep

I would wish to live forever
When I was just a boy
How could I know a life well lived
Would grow to be the better choice

chorus
