Times like these, makes me weary,
changes of life, makes me leery.
Girls like her, makes me hopeful,
words like that, makes me colorful.

Makes me think like that,
makes me feel so trapped.
Makes me joyous for life,
makes me free of strife.

Keeps me goin', keeps me movin',
but I keep myself within reality,
and ready for failure, heartbreak, the truth.

I only dream, when I'm awake,
when I'm asleep, my dreams are fake.
I only scream, when I'm asleep,
when I'm awake, my screams are discreet.

Makes me grow a special way,
makes me tired when I think.
Makes me low when the highest speaks,
makes me cry so bad I stand above the sink.

Keeps me goin', keeps me movin',
but I keep myself within reality,
and ready for failure, heartbreak, the truth.
