Lyrics
[Verse 1]
While the singer grows older
His conception grows deeper because he lives life and he understands
What he's trying to say a little more
[Verse 2]
The earth is but a day
With no inspection
I time that will bring you
On in life
[Verse 3]
I'm forming to myself
But I'm not broken
Waiting for the day to bring me light
[Verse 4]
If everything said everything is everything
The only thing I ever dream is you
'Cause I break down, I take you down and I love it every step of the way
[Verse 5]
As a singer grows older
His conception grows a little deeper because he lives life and he understands
What he is trying to say a little more
If the singer tries to find out what is happening in life
It gives him a better insight on telling the story of the song
He's trying to sing
[Verse 6]
Watching from a distant constellation
Eyes that can see the world in changing hues
Visions still unfolding that way in matching
Time reveals that loves is the only truth
[Verse 7]
If everything said everything is everything
The only thing I ever dreamed is you and me
'Cause I break down, I take you down and I love it every step of the way
