An old soul has a tough time seeing the minutia of minute
Every moment preceeds the next, they'll never see the wonders of today
'All my life...' has no meaning in our world
The only time is now, the only future's in the past
It's hard to find happiness when you don't allow it to exsist
Wishing to your television will only show you what you've missed
There is no magic potion, there has never been a quick-fix
The fear that lies within you is not easy to resist
You covet your desire for a simple, perfect world
Where there's only up, there is no down
Each frown's been turned upside-down
Instead of facing this imperfect world with your chin held towards the sky
It's so much easier curled into a ball, where you pray to be shown the door...
This life isn't perfect, baby
There's no prophecy to be fulfilled...
Right now, it's only you and me...
I just can't stand to fight your ambiguity
Instead of marching to the beat, you've been plodding towards the side
Anxious for someone to save you from yourself...
You've been taking your sweet time...
Yet, here I am, I've been combative towards your nature
...thought I scored a knockdown in the fifth...
But you're the one not in the ring
You needed someone to face your tiff
Sweetheart, I'm beyond being your patsy...
I've given you my all
If you're too scared to hit the ring, it's now your lifetime to dismiss
I've been wearing thin from protecting you from yourself
But, honey, you made me realize that you're no old soul
...you're just a shadow...
All you'll ever be is just an unseen vision in the wind...
