The world as you'd have it and the world as it is Sliding in and out of focus, does it ever get to fit The world as you'd have it and the world as it seems Keep a sense of the sadness But drive it out of your dreams Grit your teeth and say world as it is I've arrived at the point somewhere in between The person that i wanted to be and the person i've been Something's eating me today Because the question mark in my guts Says there's hell to pay I grit my leeth and say world as it is The world as you'd have it, the world that you see The world as we'd have it is the world as it will be
