lyrics

Maybe someday I could've been

A doctor or a scientist

And make a lot of money for my children and my family

For to spend on getting lonely as I age




But I abide by biding time

And letting all my apprehension slowly rot

make up eulogies for everything we want




So I will look down at my hands

Upon the wheel every now and then

Illuminated by repeating highway lights




And I'll remember who I am

And see in shining contrast where I stand

Between the hangman and the halo

for a while




So I sat alone beside my love

and waited for the ball to drop

As seven strangers called upon the ghosts of their regrets

And in a huff they tossed them up

and fire bit the frostbit fog

but yours, you dropped

you swore it was an omen

We'd forget, we'll forgive




So maybe someday I'll settle down

Give up pacing in the dark and locking doors

Say farewell, I aint a child anymore




And we could build a little place

upon a plot in Eden

and even if we never make it to the end of the parade

I'm sure we'll still be happy that we came
