Truth is, I fear I fear that I lack (I lack) I lack the resolve To move beyond this wall And live the life I really want It's been a year a year since I (since I) Since I left home And for that I've nothing to show I'm no different than a year ago But I guess I can say I've learned It's not the lighter that makes the fire burn Two sticks will work If you just exert the effort That's the way to go Now I know (Now I know, now I know) That's just how it goes (Now I know) Here, there, and everywhere There are sounds (sounds) That I've never seen What could this mean? I may be worse off than I seem I soak in what I can But understand that if it's to be It's up to only me To make this vision a reality But a seed Can't become a tree Without sunbeams Or rain at the very least There are things you can't control Now I know (Now I know, now I know) That's just how it goes (Now I know) It must bury When it falls from the parent tree It learns to shed its leaves And you know it will always need A little room to grow Now I know (Now I know, now I know) That's just how it goes
