Somedays my life comes together

Then it all comes apart

I am told i have ambition

Where i should have a heart

I have something on a long rope

Swinging wide either way

I dont' know what's passing through

From what's here to stay

I have quite a history

Of chasing after rainbows

Finding there's a thunderstorm

At the other end

If i don't learn the first time

I won't learn the next time

What god did not make cautious

He gave a lot of thread to mend

Chorus:

Someone read my mind out there

Take my hopes and dreams

And build me a prayer

Can you find the words

To the madness in my head

I'm a little bit lost a little quietly led

These blue eyes they get grayer

Year after year

It sure ain't from lack of trying

That no one got lost in here

I am told that i try too hard

It isn't lose or win

And that no one can get lost

If you're always rushing in (chorus)

I think someone was lying

When they called this world round

It feels like one sharp corner

And a long way down

You are taking my ambition

When you're taking on my heart

If you can really read my mind

You know they do not come apart
