If you had to make it matter
But you just can't find the words
When you're waiting for an answer
That you've already heard
Then you're drowning in the moment
'Cause you never learned to swim
As the distance grows between the shores
You know how this could end
Are you thankful for your well wishers
Who put you on your way
Or bitter 'cause your currency
Is lost in the exchange
So forget about your handfuls
When it's worthless you're sublime
As the sun begins to grow red
You're running low on time
I have to wonder, are you stuck
Under clouds of possibilities?
Or can't you turn against those urges?
They'll desert you, guaranteed
If nothing's certain
Then that's worse than this confusion
As it intrudes on you and me
If you fit into your pattern
It should come as no surprise
As it's the safest the stars that shatter
You learn to be polite
So be hopeful as a candle
Is worried for its flame
The more that you could handle here
The less you feel the same
I have to wonder, are you stuck
Under clouds of possibilities
Or can't you turn against those urges?
They'll desert you, guaranteed
If nothings certain
Than that's worse than this confusion
As it intrudes on you and me
