The Jar 歌詞

You’ve waited your whole life In a jar Complacent, gazing up at the stars You count and count until There’s nothing left Cause if you land on one The rest are dead And all the ripples in the universe Are the wrinkles forming on your skin From throwing your tomorrows To the wind We can’t pretend It’s alright, it’s alright Until our aspirations turn to dust Dreams overhead Out of time, can’t decide on who to be ‘Cause one life’s not enough The spark fades, the spool unwinds A truth as certain as the changing tides Don’t go wasting your youth On a stifled plot Just take hold of the fruit Before branches rot away eclipse your fate We can’t pretend It’s alright, it’s alright Until our aspirations turn to dust Dreams overhead Out of time, can’t decide on who to be ‘Cause one life’s not enough Approaching the edge, you carry on With your collection of regrets Singing a swan song from The comfort of your bed until It dawns that there is nothing left ahead Just the end We can’t pretend It’s alright, it’s alright Until our aspirations turn to dust Dreams overhead Out of time, can’t decide ‘Cause one life’s not enough
