lyrics

LYRICS:


somebody told me
don’t rush into this
fates can be sealed with a kiss
and we’re works-in-progress

acting our ages
learning to shift gears
objects are larger than they appear


and i don’t want to stand in your way
but to be there at the end of the day
and i don’t mean to be making demands
and i cannot play pretend
no i don’t want to play pretend


setting intentions
conscious with each step
we haven’t seen anything yet
and what’s really important
so why this torment

mountains and valleys
spirits are willful
at the growing edge of push and pull
and we haven’t had our fill


but i cannot abandon myself
better to be selfish than somebody else-ish
i can’t bear for this to end
and i don’t want to play pretend
can’t afford to play pretend


somebody told me
don’t rush into this
