I was just trying to learn something from you
and it was so trying to get you to say
all of those little things pent up inside of you
ships in a bottle will never touch waves
And the sea of infinity's laid out beside you
a future so bright that you can't see your way,
So lift up your fingers and shadow your eyes dear and
reach out to me, I won't lead you astray
and we'll say
La da da da da da da da
And what was that lesson
we're taught when we're children?
You work till you die with such little to gain
so lift up your fingers and shadow your mind dear and
reach out to me, I won't lead you astray
worry worry all the time
the curse of these linear lives
would you let it pass you by?
would you let it pass you by?
