Could Have Been

Will I ever get it right

Will I ever take it slow

I'm always waiting for the chorus line

I'm only singing to the words I know

Better than I take a risk

Better than they laugh me off

I like pretending that the moment waits for me

Instead of knowing that it never does

Close my eyes, having a daydream here

I'm tired of my old routines

But it's easier than breaking free, it's like

I'm slipping through the hourglass

But I'm just lying here in the sand

And when my time is finally up

While they're counting all my sins

Oh I'd hate to shake the hand

Of the person that I could have been

And I close my eyes, having a daydream here

I'm tired of my old routines

But it's easier than breaking free, it's like

I'm Slipping through the hourglass

Lying here in the sand

And When my time is finally up

While they're counting all my sins

Oh I'd hate to shake the hand

Of the person that I could have been

And I close my eyes

Oh I keep drifting all the time

Oh I can't seem to find a better way

Just to shake my day-to-day

I've spent all my life

Wide awake but never made time

Oh I

I should have Mumbled through the words

Instead of just the ones I've heard

So will I ever get it right

Will I ever take it slow

Am I waiting for the chorus line

Only singing to the words I know
