Settling

Sorting out the back room, a cold day in October Shuffling through the past, making space to tide us over And there beneath the books, lies a yellow folder Full of teenage dreams and a tear stained rollercoaster Me at just 14 armed only with four chords With words beyond my years, I sang injustice and remorse And as lonely as I was I thought it would reap some rewards Now 14 years later I'm completely off course And I know the world is different But I can't help feeling lost And I know it's one in a million But it's the only thing I want And I only need one shot Standing in the green room another soulless winter Shuffling our feet waiting for the night to be over Because when we step in the light we're looking so much older All our teenage dream just weighing down our shoulders And I know it's a fools errand But someone has got to try And I know we're close to the end now But it's all I've wanted my whole life And I will love it til I die And I know the world is different But I can't help feeling lost And I know it's one in a million But it's the only thing I want It's the only thing I've got Yeah it's the only thing I want But we know I've missed my shot
