To Be

Solitaire and cigarettes
on one hand
I can
count my regrets
I'm not supposed to have any
that's the test

We were high
remember why
we were there
to grow our wings, but not to fly
We found ourselves in school again
not the sky

This will be the one
just wait and see
pass the deck
and pour another tea
I'm just waiting patiently for me

(Chorus)
To be
I am what I am
Just me
what I was, what I am
I am leaving my mark on the world
by not leaving a mark when I leave
We're too busy becoming
to be

Calendar, your pages
fly by me
and it's time I faced this
time
I'm not supposed to waste any
time to climb
But I have hit a ceiling
that I cannot see
A window's there
but I believe
the bird that flew into the glass
that was me

(Chorus)
