Do you ever wonder why you focus on the future?
I mean, I know you're clear that it's an escape
from the present
But, just entertain the possibility, if only for a second
that it is more than high hopes, wants and unfulfilled wishes
that makes you dream about hugs and kisses
with someone I know you don't really know
In this sea full of sharks and fishes
I believe you're of the variety that is tame
and, not because your game is lame
but, because you've at least progressed to where you know how to give and when to take
You still live with some of your mistakes but you don't want to go back
You know you don't need that
So, what is it I'm trying to say?
When you're not in the here and now, when you're contemplating next steps
Do you really take a look around to understand who you're with?
It's not your dreams I'm trying to steal, it's just I really wonder if you know they're not real
I'm the first to live in the land of faith
but if that state takes you to a place of disillusion, you can't blame fate
--especially with reality staring you in the face
I'm not inclined to tell you whether your thoughts should stay or go
It's just something I thought you should know
A different place for your mind to debate, or grow
I don't even know
if I can explain what it is with us
why I question what's real, what's suspicious
Even so, I don't plan to go until it's unveiled to me
what is real and what is fantasy
