lyrics

The pressure to grow up is drawing near
The walls are closing in
An anxious boy caught in the crowd
Perhaps I’m just not ready to fit in

Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind
But the patient dreamer weathers the storm
They ask what you’re doing with your life
The empty words pass through my head
I’ll sail across the ocean instead

Visions of the rising tides
Calling out my name into the unknown
Whether courage carries through
Is something I must find out on my own

Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind
But the patient dreamer weathers the storm
They say what you’re doing is a waste of time
The empty words pass through my head
I’ll sail across the ocean instead

Maybe I’m a fool throwing my body to the wolves
But the open water is where I belong
From the outside it's bizarre
Willing to journey this far
But regret can come to those who wait too long
Fearing the danger I won’t make it to the end
But the fall will help me understand
That maybe my ship was never meant to fly
But I’d rather take the fall than never try

Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind
But the patient dreamer weathers the storm
They ask what you’re doing with your life
The empty words pass through my head
They say what you’re doing is a waste of time
The empty words pass through my head
I’m going to be my own man
All their words pass through my head
I’ll sail across the ocean instead
