waking up in the early morning
it doesn't take much to get things moving
my coffee cup could never keep up with the times
i was a genius in my mind
could never get the pen to notice
now the ink's all run dry
my hands are tied
i'm only one step down a long road
repeat new mantras until i forget how the old ones go
i drew a long, hard line
and i built a big bridge
between what it was back then and what it is
at least what it could have been
waking up in the early morning
making lists and trying hard to stay grounded and present
it's such a simple thing to notice, so i try
there's pink clouds in the sky
sunrise filling in the treeline
neglected car alarm sighs
my hands are tied
i'm only one step down a long road
repeat new mantras until i forget how the old ones go
my hands are tied
i'm only one step down a long road
keep singing this song until i forget how my old songs go
