Not at all!
No one learns to swim who don't get carried away
You are the wall that's keeping you from seeing yourself fall into place
But I wouldn't look back, it'd be useless
The world is such a momentary, undeniable
One
Ever notice that whenever we forget yourself
The ocean starts to drain into the sand?
Do you find that when you're quiet
What you call yourself is nothing but a habit with a hand?
But I wouldn't look back, it'd be useless
The ocean's gone, we don't believe in water anymore
I wouldn't look back, no
Not at all
It takes some time to

You had me from
"You can do anything that you can think of"
So I started to pick and choose in a deliberate manner
The greatest minds are those that let their bodies do
They are seldom unavailing
As for me I've never seen such wasted talent;
Who could sing a better song than you?
And from the best of all possible images I could come up with
For no particular reason I settled on these few
Something other than the end is driving me forward

Life, it is swirling
It'll pull you right in if you let it
I'm not the only, but I'll be the first
To forget the warmth of a welcoming curse
You won't find no shelter beneath shoes or a shirt
If you never used to just sit there
And think any thought that you could
Just because you could
(It's why you're alive)
But did all the skeptics cut you down to size?
Did like minds get stifled
And snuffed of their fire in the weather?
Gone are the days when
Your hands are just flowing with life
You've passed through the process
It's left you a shell
But you can pick back up
As fast as you fell
The secret's inside you:
Just keep to yourself
If you never
Than you won't
I'm happier now than I ever have been in my life

I asked
And she said, "I don't smoke"
I said, "You should really start
And there are homeless without blankets even
And soldiers bleeding away it all
And a billion animals chained and beaten again
And we both know there's only
One way to put that sort of thing behind us
So selfishness aside,
Let's try to get out of this place
Just a little faster"
She said, "Do you have a light?"

"If and when,"
You could turn to me and say,
"This ends, do you think we'll be the same
As we already are?"
"Shucks, well I'm not certain,
I've spent the last ten years of my life
Learning to keep my mouth shut,
But if I had to answer,
I'd say, 'We weren't same to begin with.'"
"Well, if and when,"
You might stare at me and wonder out loud,
"This here ends, do you think we'll ever forget about it?"
"Hmm.
I don't think I'll ever know right now,
But if one day I should find myself
In a place where I am asked this silly sort of question
And I have no choice but to respond,
I'm so sure I'll say,
'We won't even have time to remember.'"
