In this place, poet's got my dream
Perfect face, the hero of my scene
Sings those words, and promises everything, so promise me anything
Well I stayed in school
I played the fool
Obeyed the rules
And look what I've become
And I forged my youth
Ignored the truth
Wore the proof
To find that I was wrong, yeah
'Cause time is not on my side
I know I can't have it all, it all, if I'm due, ohhh
In this life, people climbing walls
Stuck inside, waiting for the call
That helps them find some meaning in it all, some meaning in it all
Meaning of it all
Well I stayed in school
I played the fool
Obeyed the rules
And look what I've become
And I forged my youth
Ignored the truth
Wore the proof
To find that I was wrong, yeah
'Cause time is not on my side
I know I can't have it all, it all, if I'm due
