Now don’t go thinking about being free
When you need what you want,
You should want what you need.
And I see you looking past where you are.
When your mind hasn’t caught up.
As if your thoughts were ajar,
Spilling what’s not needed and your
Looking like your not seeing this.

It’s too bad cuz you’re usually locked up so tight that
I’m never sure if what your thinking will be right.
The way you handle instances that aren’t cheap,
As to say that innocence isn’t steep, but you're just,   Repeating yourself!!!  

So now I guess your minds expired.
Why don’t you just retire to your routine,
Or will it be that your routine will retire you,
To a new place where you look where you are.
Let me know what you’re thinking
So it never seems that you’re too far,
    Gone. Away, it doesn’t matter,
That I sit here and wait to stare.
(Why’d you make me feel this way)


So learn what you’ve learned
Just regret forgetting what you were.
And forget regretting how the tables turned.
To where they rest next to that
We never talk about.
Your choice for giving me that chance
To trade what never were you’re secrets.
Brings you down to solid ground
With no support now you can’t reach it.

But admit its better
Don’t take it for granted.
Treat it like the piece of light you found in your darkness and implant it,
Let it settle in, let it take over.
Just not to become the chip on your shoulder.
