Swings

I was born with a great mind

And great minds think alike

But great minds think a lot

Great minds overthink the kind of thinking only the drink can stop

Grab the vice, pop the top, and settle

No more sober

Eyes glaze over

And no more fear

Let my mind run free as it all becomes clear

They say distance make the heart grow fonder

But now you're far away I wonder

Is that true?

Was in love with the image I projected of you?

Infatuation, I see through

And we always seem to resort to old ways

The games we played, were so much fun

But how things changed

And how we've aged, how we became

Two individuals, nothing alike

On different paths

Like, what would have happened if we hadn't crossed paths that night?

But that's the easy path with the least reward

And it's never been the easy path that I walk

Now we cheesin' chalk

But it's never been the easy path that I walk

I (ooh) talk to the man then

Ask how they've been

They say the same old thing

Used to knock for the man then sometimes ring

These days there's nobody in

It's not personal, it's worse

We all got jobs to work, we earn and burn it all

Repeat the process

Then search for something purposeful

My words are merely merciful

I'm asking what the answer is

Maybe it's just the way it goes

Maybe there's something after this

They say everything could level out

And this is all just part of it

I accept that truth, and bask in it

That's why they call me the Daydreamer

Over there the grass is always greener

To be kings and queens we eager

The way that the pendulum swings is deeper

Baby I've got to look deeper

Day dreamer

Over there the grass is always greener

To be kings and queens we eager

The way that the pendulum swings is deeper

Baby I've got to look deeper

Baby I've got to look deeper
