If I only had had it
Would I still be on this sunward trajectory
Sandals with golden wings heroes of tragedy
Spilling their feelings born kings of civilians
No common man millions to be birthed of
Your work ethic in my time
But I'm proud forcing resilience
So I drowned myself then found myself
In sound advice that sounds so well adjusted to the terms
Think I just hopped the curb
And I'm pretty sure you put a spell on me
Had I known I might have been a little more careful
With my willingness
To look the other way
One time, two times now
But that's too many times to count
Got me waking up like I'm in a daze
Not because I took a hit to the face
But just your normal irregular ways
And I bet you still looks so good from a ways
Bet I'd still pay so much to play
But I'd just play my own heart by mistake
And take your words by a faith
So don't call me crazy
Okay you can call me crazy
But if i'm crazy about anything girl
it's just you and your love
If I'm crazy about anything it's just you and your love girl
You can lose it all quick if you love with a purpose in this life
But what else could be worth this life
And you can lose yourself quick if you love with a purpose in this life
But what else could be worth this life
If I only had, had it
Could I still be on that dance floor with spotlights
All eyes on my feet with some VIP's
Tragic
Champagne and caviar
Fast girls and fast cars
Walls filled with fine art
Vacations in aspen
Should I find myself and bind myself
To grounded thoughts of ground wells
No more city pipes or pipe dreams
To fall and walk again is a trend I said
I'd never let be on repeat for me
This isn't that fun of a place to live anymore
What happened to your soul planet earth
I'm not sure I can grow old with you planet earth
Not sure I can condone where you put your worth
We've been waiting and watching all of this time
As the fires you start are the fires we're left to fight
And I'm not sure what else we could owe you planet earth
Say it's what we've earned
But it's rarely what we've earned
