it's beyond me how i could have missed   it wasn't supposed to end up like this   written all over my face   desperation and self doubt   gotta get back to a place   where the sun sometimes comes out   leave it all without a trace and drop out   say the word   i'm waiting, give the sign   every element of your design   out of sight   your wishes never show   say the word and just like that we'll go   paying for the things i've long ignored   holding on to dreams i can't afford   aspiration in arrears   leaving me pale and grim-faced   and the ever passing years   waning too few now to waste   we can't wait until it clears   so make haste
