about

About that point in your life where you wonder if you made the right choices

lyrics

I've always thought myself a bigger picture thinker
assess a problem and then shoot from the cuff
Can't say for sure if I believe in being Lucky
but most my life it's been more than enough

Now I wonder if I made the right choices
listened to the right people's voices
thinking 'bout all the paths not taken
are the dreams of youth still worth chasing?

I can't go back I know that's true
but I can change my destination
I Can be someone brand new
it just takes imagination

The road of life defies all our understanding
yet we keep trying almost in vain
fortunes crumble despite our careful planning
for some reason we just can't explain

I want much more than tranquil life suburban
in a world that seems so much more uncertain
i played it safe when I was so much younger
but never lost that deeply burning hunger

I can't go back I know that's true
but I can change my destination
I can become someone new
it just takes imagination

Going around in circles
getting nowhere fast
jumping every hurdle
running from the past

Playing make believe
when we were small children
In our minds worlds we'd be building
We grow up riddled with out self deception
say its not real but it's all about perception

I can't go back I know that's true
but I can change my destination
I can become someone new
it just takes imagination
