When I was a little boy I used to sit and ponder But now that I'm a full grown man, I'm simply left to wonder Where did all the time go It's passing with a flash And soon enough I'll return to ash.
All my life I've wanted nothing more than to make beauty To conjure from the ether something that was passing through me Something that is wonderful And full of joyful song 'Cause sooner than later I'll be gone.
I wanna write, the perfect song A melody that never goes wrong. A chorus filled with triumph And a bridge that fills the heart with longing. A song that everyone will sing.
So I try, with every song, to write something of wonder. And even though I've struggled so, I haven't yet gone under. And every song I put to pen Just might be that song. A song to which, you might singalong.
And here's the part Where I fall apart I don't know what to do.
Every song, I seem to write Seems to pass right through you.
I wanna write song that just can't be ignored Ever more.
