Looking through my mind today

Trying to find the words to say

The thoughts that seem to be escaping me

Wanting more than what you've seen

It's like you're living inside a dream

And you can't control the mind to set you free



You tick your days away

You tick your days away

You tick your days away

And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me



Learning more as you grow old

Sometimes it seems so cold

Like there's something working hard to keep you down

Try and raise your head again

Surround yourself with friends

And stay up on your toes so you don't drown



You tick your days away

You tick your days away

You tick your days away

And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me



Eyes have opened up the door as if it's real to be

Allowing you to see, allowing you to see like me



Lot's of faces along your way

Some move on some they stay

But each one shares a hand in shaping you

You know there are many who came before

You got this feeling you're not quite sure

But there's something in this realm that you must do



You tick your days away

You tick your days away

You tick your days away

And then you'll see you're a lot like me...like me
