Not Even Close

(album: Weightless - 2006)

I have a dream of living a life that's easier said than done.
Stare in the mirror I'm unfascinated with everything I have done
I'm faking my way, living it down
Oh my God I'm lazy and I'm frenzied
Licking my wounds, and moving ahead
But I can't take this wine and bread
I'm not even close to where I want to be
And all of the people, as small as we are
Are crying out with our hands
Feeding the poor, feasting on sunsets
Take it away my friend
All of the hands are having their way
Licking their palms for a taste of grace
I'm saving myself for all the moments that I'll never have
I'm not even close to where I want to be
And all of the people, as small as we are
Climb out with our hands
I'm unfascinated as small as I am
Nothing else here is grand
So take me away, and move me ahead
So I can take a taste of wine and bread
I'm living it down, it's all that I have
This is about the things I'll have
Mercy
Cause I'm not even close to where I want to be
I'm unfascinated by everything else
And me
