Shaving Your Life

(album: Rock The Plank - 2001)

Early come one winters morning
I packed my bags and said goodbye
I knew my mind was made up
And then she cried
And asked me why I had to run
I heard the world calling my name
Had to find a better place
Had to take a chance and get away

Wake up to a different point of view
Look to my better half but I don't see you
Five thousand miles away
I left a life of ignorance
I did not understand
But life to me makes more sense

Our lives go on
While we procrastinate
Feeling okay
Watching as the blue skies turn to gray
Got nothing to say

Later on a new spring morning
I felt my strength come back around
I knew I'd come full circle
Left with the wisdom I had found, I had to run
I heard my home calling my name
Back to a better place
Back to somewhere I knew I could stay

Our lives go on
While we procrastinate
Watch days go by
Funny how it all turns out when you start to try

I don't know where to go
I see that place in front of you
The things I thought were not true
And now the fires burning you
You got nothing
