Regret Consumes Me

It must have been easier when we were younger and the world takes place two feet outside your head Then something expanded and you start to feel stranded so you scramble outside of the skin that you shed It must have been easier when the lights were brighter and the girls were screaming your name Then the bulbs burn out and you’re left in your doubt and everything starts to feel the same You couldn’t stand it I suppose Life comes and then life goes Some things nobody knows Some things nobody knows It must have been easier to feel in control Where you were so small and you needed a way to feel big So you took all you could and it felt pretty good Then suddenly you’re aware of what you did It must have been easier to be somebody we knew or maybe you felt spent Suddenly you’re gone and everything goes wrong No one knows just why you went You couldn’t stand it I suppose Life comes and then life goes Some things nobody knows Some things nobody knows You couldn’t stand it I suppose Life comes and then life goes Some things nobody knows Some things nobody knows Some things are easy, some things aren’t a breeze And some of my branches stretch out and bear fruit Some branches die when they freeze Sometimes I think of you We couldn’t stand you I suppose Life comes and then life goes Some things nobody knows Some things nobody knows You jumped from a plane that you thought would explode And you slowly drift your way down With the dead weight gone the plane flies on The madness in flight, the safety of the ground
