a song about the space between potential and reality
lyrics
Lookin back to that scene, there was nothing for me
All the fruit was hanging from the trees, Shoulda been a sweet scheme
Jacked up with aces kings and queens and everything inbetween
God knows there’s people in my life who couldn’t it right
Who came so close, no matter how they tried couldn’t rab it good and tight
Gotta take some time tonight and try and get it right
I need to go inside
got a friend with every reason to succeed
Couldn’t make himself believe
A born king with an engine full of steam, living in a bad dream
Packed to the gills with everything to do well, an eagle in a jail cell
It makes me wanna scream
God knows theres people in my life
Who couldn’t get it right
I bet there’s people in your life
Who couldn’t get it right
Looking out from your eyes
You couldn’t get it right
Looking out from my eyes
I couldn’t get it right
