You take the name of a man you hardly know And then you grow up and that name has to go Married with kids and they don't want to know About the dreams you had to let go
You're still waiting for a knight in shining armor To steal you against your will And while you're waiting and doing no harm You know there's plenty of time to kill
And when you claim you wouldn't change a day It makes me wonder where I went astray Happy with things that leave me tired We're as unlike as frost and fire, oh
And now yourself you start to see in me Pictures of things which you could've been Torches I find I am bearing for you When you know you could've carried them too
We give up so easily What little they leave us to lose And if I didn't have the fire to struggle I could freeze in your shoes
When I say I couldn't live that way You must wonder where I went astray Happy with things that leave me tired We're as unlike as frost and fire, oh
When I say I couldn't live that way You must wonder where I went astray Happy with things that leave me tired We're as unlike as frost and fire, oh
