We may never be able to return to our simple times

Wherever thing was new to you and new to me.
Where you'd slave away and all I wished for was you to be free.

But now so many years have passed and I can finally walk on my own two feet
It's time for me to go on another walk and see where they'll lead.

I can't tell you how I made it this far, it's s two-day walk from home
I'm so exhausted

now I'm in a city full of fallen stars
their flames faded and hollow from what I saw sitting on the porch swing late at night.

And I'm sorry to say that I've crashed here with them.
sitting in wait for my time to come
But it won't,
it cant
unless I push myself down this long and lonesome road.

So here I lay in bed
Plauged by visions of the life I thought I'd have overflowing from my head.

I'd be back in school;
Maybe have a house or two;
possibly a couple ladies coming through.
And even though nothing grew to fruition,
I'm still out here writing these lonely predictions.

I roll over, trying to smother my face,
trying so hard just to punch through the bed into the dreamscapes
filled with sand and footprints of friends and I who escaped.
