lyrics

I help myself to what's in front of me
I lap it up; not slow, not tenderly
'cause after all there'll be more tomorrow

tend not to look at what's ahead of me
yeah, I know these roads like family
all their faults obscured by memory

produce for production
consume for consumption
the fertile landscape of my life used for Christmas trees and pumpkins
like it's nothing

I'm running out of excuses
I'm running out of time
sun rays slip through cracks in brick
my skinny shoulders love the light

it's in the spotlight of my mind
I've really turned it on this time
you'll complain you can't sleep
blinded by my shine
though I'm shaking please don't wake me up tonight

I miss the bus-- hop, skip towards anything
all I need's roof, food, your company
I'm taking joy in dreaming about all three

far away as I have ever been
life's real neat with nobody checking in
everything's fair game, so count me in

'cause it's so simple when I get a hold of that feeling
the changes that I'm making ain't the burden that I made them out to be

the year blipped by in a day
and though I'm mostly the same
I know the forces that keep my life in place can break

it's in the spotlight of my mind
I've really turned it on this time
you'll complain you can't sleep
blinded by my shine
though I'm shaking please don't wake me up tonight
