Like the Dream of It

It’s been a long while since the words came quick

My heart was narrow and my skin was thick

Blessed and cursed by the feeling

And I can’t forget all the sparks I’ve seen

Questioning what I thought I knew

If I’d seen it coming I’d have thought it through

Built up to ruin by this simple fear

That I’m losing everything that I hold dear

Maybe I was young or just naive

Now I’m not sure what to believe

Nothing is easy as I thought this was

Nothing turns out like the dream of it does

I thought i had it all figured out

But I can’t distinguish truth from doubt

Nothing comes as easy as I thought this was

Nothing turns out like the dream of it does
