lyrics

Right around the time
My father’s wisdom was brought to question
I learned a lesson
These double-digit years
Don’t do a lot to make things clear
Like who to mess with

This ark was built by amateurs; Titanic by professionals
Give everything you’ve got like giving secrets to confessionals
Water dressed like knives, and bees make homes from hives
I hope one day you wake to see the sun and realize
That dreams are only goals with no deadlines
And goals are only dreams with deadlines

(yep)

Right around the time
My father’s wisdom was imitated
I thought I made it
But these double-digit years don’t mean I’m rid of all my fears
like when to say this, or who to say it to

Hijack another crazy train - they might think you’re insane
Though you’re the one who’s in control
They’ll seek each other’s pain
Throw all your pennies down; misshapen circles to the ground
Make Abe believe with honesty the train is comin’ ‘round
And dreams are only goals with no deadlines
And goals are only dreams with deadlines

This ark was built by amateurs...
