Here I sing just trying to express
In the way I hope that I do best
All these ideas, they are floatin’ round
Trying to keep one, I gotta choke it down
Still I’m not saying that I feel fine
About the way you waste your precious time
Transitory, just like shooting stars
All the deepest wounds seem to leave no scars
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
Be what you want to be
All I want is for us to remain
Times are tough, and love it is always rough
You give your all, but your all is not enough
Like a book on tape, digital escape
Won’t you be my TV-dinner date
Culture satiated with celebrity
All trying to look like the models in the magazines
Where normallacy is the fallacy
Why can’t we make this dream reality
See things as they are
Not as we’d like them to be
But as they were
Were they really
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
See what you want to see
All I want is for us to remain
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
All I want is to believe
That what was lost just might be regained
