Paul Lesinski

Lyrics

When I was a boy, I dreamed that I could run
Chase the leaves down Merritt Street into a never setting sun
Now that I’m a man I see things differently
The weight of the day and 1,000 choices come bearing down on me
 
When I got out of school, I dreamed that I could fly
Take the day like a bird of prey with just a shadow of a try
But now the truth comes home and it’s giving me the slip
And every time I gain and inch somebody makes me trip
 
And I can’t find the reason
And I can’t stop the bleeding
 
Now I look around, process what I see
Promise hope but they won’t give you rope unless it’s hanging you and me
Every town I go, the struggle is the same
Spinning wheels in second gear and then we turn and throw the blame
