lyrics

Coffee in hand, dreading the feeling
As the dawn robs you of all your rest
Another man lost in transition
He works a nine to five as his dreams die an honest death

Baby blue skies seem so familiar
Reminds me of youth, fearless with no regrets
You’re going through the motions day after day
You’re too young to keep on living this way

Do you recall the day when life became mundane
And the boy is gone who you knew
Well life passed you by, maybe your missed your chance
I hope it’s worth it, when you made that sacrifice

Wine glass in hand, chasing the weekend
Social queen questions the crown she wears
Another girl searching for validation
She masquerades in ballrooms of fools and knaves

All eyes upon you, secretly envy, they wouldn’t know
The burden you bear with such grace
You’re going through the motions night after night oh
Nobody knows what you hide behind those pretty blues eyes
My baby yeah

Do you recall the day when you spread your wings to fly
And the girl is lost to the world
Well you’re chasing admiration, now you have it all
I hope it’s worth it when you make that sacrifice
Let’s go

One day you’ll find yourself
Walking down that same old path yeah
You realize this isn’t you
You lost what you thought you had yeah
Well a moment’s haste clears the fog
And shines the beauty through, now you
When you look down and you see
Those roses on North Avenue
