lyrics

Well here I am looking right at 20 years
With some meaningless hope inside a backpack full of fears
and a halo that's hanging over never ending dreams
but I'm not gonna be happy when they come true
No, I'm an addict of the future's magnitude

And it seems these days I get trapped by my own heart
With hallow victories that don't recall their humble start
And the bridges that I cross are overlooked then fall apart
But what's the purpose of the chase if I close my eyes?
And what's the meaning of the truth without some lies?

I have done away with the false parades
for the never coming trophy day
'cause smiles are born on days like today

Just last week I saw Mollie's starry eyes
She said she wants to be an actress just like her mom up in the lights
Just some ordinary words from an optimistic mind
but now I can smile more when she graces broadway's stage
'cause I watched her play the part at her young age

And I miss the nights when we'd jam 'til well past 2
Making memories with the songs we'll never use
and the humbling tavern shows for an audience of few
in these smokey bars my real dreams are coming true
playing songs with my best friends written for you
