lyrics

My day is over as yours begins.
Closed eyes, open mouths and an extra day of sin.
We're out here on our own trying to stand tall in the world
Trying to catch the wind in our sails as they unfurl.

And I wonder, do you see me now?
And I wonder, do you know somehow what I've done?

I've tried to keep myself in check.
Crossed fingers, steady hands to steer me past each wreck.
My mother always says you can't live life alone.
When you've asked for help you'll know you've truly grown.

But I wonder, do you even care?
And I wonder, are you really there at all?
And I wonder, if you're watching now 
Do you think to yourself 'he'll never turn it around'?

Because I know what I've done wrong.
And I know I got too good at playing along
With the games we say are all for fun 
As a way of hiding what we know we've become.
And though change is just a step away 
You could walk for miles and never find that place.

So your day is over as mine begins.
I really hope we'll never know each other's sins.
We're out here on our own trying to stand tall in the world
Trying to catch the wind in our sails as they unfurl.
