lyrics

If you continue down the same path you’re going to get the same results
It doesn’t take a genius to see cause and effect
It’s like every dumb idea was realized all at once
And now we’re left here, picking through the pieces of what once was
Now am I the one cut out for this? Honestly I just don’t know
How do we live productive lives when I can’t even focus now?
It seems the whole damn world these days is geared up to torture you
When every day we’re forced to see the things we just don’t want to
Every twisted news story and every ex-girlfriend
The words and pictures dragging me away from what I should be doing
And I know I shouldn’t look but I get that tiny little buzz
It’s the immediate gratification that will be the story of us
It’s all just words and pictures
We’ve been working toward a deadline
I only hope there’s time to try
I was going to change the world for you
And get it right this time
It seems we lost something along the way I guess you’d call it touch
When it took two weeks in the desert just to write this second verse
When every waking moment we’re connected to a whole
It's hard to put things in perspective to formulate thoughts of your own
I’m sat on Sunset Blvd now, taking it all in
And I know this time tomorrow I’ll be back in Manchester
Where the insignificance of every repetitious task
Will cloud my view and make me question if I ever really left
So I’ll cut it out and tell you that we’re doing it all wrong
That there’s a reason why some of us can’t stay put for very long
And I would hate to blame myself like I would hate to tow the line
So we do things our own way and we’ll be heroes in our time
More than words and pictures
Every time I tell myself I’m finally getting started
There’s always one last thing or it’s always just around this corner
But the whole mess got me thinking
Are chances ever really gone?
No, the only truth is now and the only deadline is my own
I’m going to change the world for you
