My curiosity has earned me a chance to learn the hard way
Life can be so giving in that way
You there standing with your eyes closed (arms out) expecting all you wanted
You never thought about if you never got it
But now you're getting older
Now you fear your window is closing on your fingers
And the lock is clicking
And the shades are drawn before your eyes
I should have had you walk out there on your own
I should have had you go out there away all alone
Damn my mind for feeling empty
Why couldn't I be happy working with my hands or selling something
Keep me entertained with small talk and doing nothin' fancy
A common occupation, and I'm satisfied
But not me. That's never gonna stop me
Push me to my limits, expand like I'm elastic
But I've got no examples, so open up your eyes
I should have had you walk out there on your own
I should have had you go out there away all alone
Now I've got to take some steps out there on my own
Now I'm gonna follow some plan that I designed at home
