If you had to make it matter, but you just can’t find the words
When you’re waiting for an answer that you’ve already heard
Then you’re drowning in the moment ‘cause you never leaned to swim
As the distance grows between the shores, you know how this could end
Are you thankful for your well wishers, who put you on your way
Or bitter ‘cause your currency is lost in the exchange
So forget about your handfuls, when it’s worthless you’re sublime
As the sun begins to grow red you’re running low on time
I have to wonder, are you stuck under clouds of possibilities?
Or can’t you turn against those urges? they’ll desert you, guaranteed
If nothing’s certain then that’s worse than this confusion as it intrudes on you and me
If you fit into your pattern, it should come as no surprise
As it's the safest the stars that shatter you learn to be polite
So be hopeful as a candle is worried for its flame
The more that you could handle here, the less you feel the same
I have to wonder are you stuck under clouds of possibilities
Or can’t you turn against those urges? they’ll desert you, guaranteed
If nothings certain than that’s worse than this confusion as it intrudes on you and me
