If I was a salesman In a new town each year I'd write you a postcard Wishing that you were here And I'll be a writer And write on my own But twenty years later What the hell do I know? I could be a doctor With lives on the line But let down was never A skill that I prized Now that my best friend is across the ocean again I'm moving too fast to pretend And I'm too tired to stand, does that make me a man? No I'll stick to singing And write a sad song For every new lover That comes along And one day a father I'll learn to love someone else More than another Much more than myself Now every part of me, is saying to give her room to breath Except that my heart has no beat, though its moving my feet And I'm at running speed Well each and every blessing comes with, knowing what could be lost I'll try not to worry, but its nothing that time and the sun cannot solve Every night I've been dreaming still I can't recall a single one And that makes me nervous, cause if I'm not awake I've been sleeping too long
