Pensive - Homebound

Until one door closes, another won’t open

It’s hard to believe when disheartened and broken

Too much of our lives contemplating what might

make a difference

I rewrite the script almost every day

The same story’s told with no sign of change

When times slipping through your fingers

The cloud of doubt begins to linger

On all the things I said I should’ve done

By the time I’m turning twenty one

Do you think about all the time you spend wishing

this could end?

Longing for a reason to leave this all behind

But further down the line and I’m stuck in this skin of mine living some other

life

Waiting around hoping for something more

Still I’m digging myself a hole

The further away I go, the more I forget what I’m doing this for

Until one door closes, another won’t open

It’s hard to believe when disheartened and broken

I spill my guts into it

Wait around and see what sticks

I had my head up in the clouds

Never came down to deal with this reality that people talk about

As if at my age they had life figured out

Too much of our lives contemplating what might make a difference.

'cause I curse myself almost every day

Thinking how I nearly walked away

Do you think about all the time you spend wishing this could end?

Longing for a reason to leave this all behind

But further down the line and I’m stuck in this skin of mine living some other

life

Waiting around hoping for something more

Still I’m digging myself a hole

The further away I go, the more I forget what I’m doing this for

I wanted you to know, I’ll have something to show
