I was the last born of a long line
But time for change and reckoning
Didn't talk much but my eyes were wide
Just too young to take it in
I heard the yelling from the living room
Hidden secrets hard to keep
I think I held my breath from the age of two
Held by my sister until I sleep
Easy come but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have? I wanna know
Like a stream, you watch it flow
To the river as it grows, to the oceans under toe
To the ethers ever-glow
I don't know
Didn't finish school I guess I got a clue
Tried to break me down, bust me in two
Not too blind to see what's right in front of me
Too busy chasing down a destiny
Easy come but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have? I wanna know
Like a stream, yeah, you watch it come and go
To the river as it grows
Easy come but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have? I gotta know
Like a dream, yeah, you watch it go
To the river as it grows, to the oceans under toe
To the ethers ever-glow
I just don't know
Where the time and heartaches go
And I don't know
But the road is long and the seats of life are so
So I'm the last one of the family
Still wide-eyed and wondering
They say it's easy come, but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have? I wanna know
Like a stream, yeah, you watch it flow
To the river as it grows
Easy come but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have? I gotta know
Life's a dream now, you see it come and go
To the river as it grows, to the oceans under toe
To the ethers ever-glow
To the river as it grows, to the oceans under toe
To the ethers ever-glow
I don't know
I just don't know
I don't know
