about
This track is about letting go of any expectations that are placed upon you, and giving yourself permission to do things your own way.
lyrics
Waiting with one eye open,
In case your mind,
Waiting with heart wide open
One more time.
I’ve been self-destructive,
I’ve argued myself blind,
The wolf can be so cruel, the lamb so kind.
Trying to move myself up stream,
But finding that I’m in between,
Everything is closing in on me.
Trying to keep my head on straight,
But find that I am running late,
For everything that I aspired to be.
My mother said,
I would never love,
If I always chased thrill.
I realise now-
Perhaps I never will.
Well maybe I’m just hungry
For something I can’t find.
This world holds so much treasure
And I have such little time.
Trying to move myself up stream,
But finding that I’m in between,
Everything is closing in on me.
Trying to keep my head on straight,
But find that I am running late,
To everything that I aspire to be.
My mother said,
I would never love,
If I always chased thrill.
I realise now-
Perhaps I never will.
Trying to move myself up stream,
But finding that I’m in between,
And everything is closing in on me.
Trying to keep my head on straight,
But find that I am running late,
To everything that I aspire to be, to be, to be.
My mother said,
I would never love,
If I always chased thrill.
I realise now-
Perhaps I never will.
My mother said,
I would never love,
If I always chased thrill.
I realise now
Perhaps I never will.
