It’s a Line

The older I get, the more it seems
I watch my dreams get smaller
Hell, no, don't get me wrong
I want more out of this life
Than I ever wanted
It's just that these days, I'd settle for less
These days are second best

It's a line that's been drawn
I can't tell which side I'm on
There's a line that's been drawn
I've seen this coming all along

There's hope for the best in those dog-eared pages
That still jump out of my favorite books
Though the innocence in my eyes has faded
I tell myself to take a second look
Like I'm some kind of castaway who swears he sees land
Can I see a show of hands?

It's a line that's been drawn
I can't tell which side I'm on
There's a line that's been drawn
I've seen this coming all along

Hammering restless thoughts into bad poetry
Lying on our backs laughing at the sun
Like we were the first ones to ever see
The moon and the stars turn into cliches
You guessed it, it rained on our parade

It's a line that's been drawn
I can't tell which side I'm on
There's a line that's been drawn
I've seen this coming all along

You should have seen
You should have seen me
You should have seen
You had to see this coming
You had to see this coming
You should have seen
You should have seen me
