Take a deep breath and don’t panic my girl
There is little to control in this crazy old world
You think and you plan and envision all day
You make up scenarios where it does go your way
(What is your way?)
(What would you say?) What could truly ever make it your day? If you could even get it, what would it be
Would it be freedom, stability, kids or just we
Do you want a house, a pool, a dog and a cat
Or maybe a jet, a whiskey and designer brimmed hat
What really matters, money and cars
Or loved ones, liked ones and those far away stars
Is there a right and a wrong to your entire life
A definitive moment, pure man and wife
Do your actions always determine your end Or in your own story, can you be villain and friend Inherently evil, deliriously mad, endearingly simple, to the bone just plain bad
Are these all just faces, all feelings we show
What’s the real outcome, what’s the real low
Everybody can say it, anybody can think I should be writing my plan on the edge of this brink
(But what if I sink?)
(What if I blink?)
What if I yawn and my breath, it might stink?
So you dreamers go lie awake late at night
Try not to think, try not to fright
Life it is scary, life it is hard
It can also be wondrous if you play the right card
The deck it is big and so hard to predict There are times you’re winning and times kid, you’re licked
But try as you might to stay out of your mind Try your best to be honest, your best to be kind Know you will fail and that it’s okay Just try to remember, start again the next day
Because sometimes you fall and sometimes you win That’s the game of life and it wears you quite thin
It plays with your mind and tricks your own head Where maybe some days you won’t leave your own bed
But keep on believing and doubting and breathing Because when it’s all over, we are all still just leaving.
