Lyrics

The lazy times of yesterday are gone
Friends turn their faces from me, they carry on
Together under perfect blue skies
Why do they all have perfect blue eyes
Every time I walk into the morning rain
I look around me everything appears the same
And they tell me I need to prove myself
They force opinions all the time

But I keep trying to tell myself
That I will succeed
Yeah and I keep trying to tell myself
That I will make it one day
And I deep trying to tell myself
It’s an unsolved mystery

They say, stop living your life in your old make believe work
And stop setting your sights on for elusive dreams
By myself I can see everything more clearly
And on my own, I hold my secret thoughts more dearly
Yeah, but between the thoughts of you and me
Well now I know that
The end will justify the means to show
Don’t try and tell me, I need those points and degrees
Don’t force opinions all the time

But I keep trying to tell myself
That I will succeed
Yeah and I keep trying to tell myself
That I will make it one day
And I keep trying to tell myself
It’s an unsolved mystery

Don’t stand on my dreams
Don’t patronize me, stop criticizing
Don’t shatter illusions
Don’t patronize me, stop criticizing
Yeah…. do do do

Do… do… do

But I keep trying to tell myself
That I will succeed
Yeah and I keep trying to tell myself
That I will make it one day and
I keep trying to tell myself
It’s an unsolved mystery

Do… do… do
