lyrics

Choices consequences, coincidences
Well now I’m not gonna worry bout all this time that I’ve been wasting,
Or all the opportunities that are drifting out of reach,
Because if fate is gonna call my number, then I’ll be waiting patiently.
Oh I’ll be listening with an open ear pressed closely to the door.
Oh cause I always thought I’d like to be a writer of some sorts,
To immortalize my memories in the blood of written words.
But the problem with ideas is actually putting them in motion
Before the fears of reality consumes all hope of the dream.
But in the safe seclusion of my room where my idleness prevails
Yet where there’s a faint but constant flickering
Of inspiring potential.
When life is choices and their consequences, I feel like I’m in control
But when my failures are my fault, then it’s back to coincidence
Well now I’m not gonna worry bout all this debt that I’m incurring
In pursuit of financial security through the promises of education.
Oh ain’t it funny, I’ve been behaving in all the ways I was told too,
Yet now that I am on my own, it seems I can’t think for myself.
When life is choices and their consequences, and coincidences
Then it’s hard to see the unexplained as something meaningful
It took a woman to soften my perceptions of the world
To say our meeting was purely chance is simply far too unromantic.
Well now I’m not gonna worry bout whether not I am remembered
Perhaps it’s better to be forgotten then be known outside of context.
And so if God is gonna read my name from his list of predestinations,
Then I shall rise after he purges me through the fires of refinement.
