Ether Hour - I Hope lyrics

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
