I grabbed tight when I figured it could be
It's not quite what I figured it would be
Let the world move maybe it'll fall in line
Well I wanted it as much as you do
But trust me that won't make it come true
I hate to think that we're both just wasting our time
I don't think our eyes took time to adjust
To the brightness of the want and the hope and the lust
I don't think our minds took time to agree
When my heart wanted you and yours wanted me
Well I had this all planned out in a dream
But on waking nothing's ever as clean
Well God knows we've lived this failure before
But each glimmer leaves us wanting it more
In the future I see glimpses of my dreams
As they draw nearer they are never what they seem
