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
