Meandher

 
 
I haven’t got time to be wasting time;  
More determined than ever to live this life right.  
No more mistakes, no chance of letting up.  
I am a rocket of burning gasoline;  
Light me up and I will fly above.  
My one way ticket proves there is no return,  
To the man I used to be;  
I have left him behind, with memories of her.  
 
 
I have got to live faster, learn faster,  
Learn how to become better;  
More important now, than ever.  
It could be forever.  
I am no longer knocking on opportunities door,  
I am running through the walls,  
Like a wrecking ball; destiny calls.  
I was smashed into oblivion,  
Caught every single piece.  
Rearranged it all before I hit the ground,  
Then I offered you my peace.  
I rearrange the words and put them out from me again.  
I rewrote the script, going to make it my own way.  
Get a better job that pays.  
Find a better way of life somehow.  
Find a woman as I am running up into the clouds.  
 
 
Horizon calls so I leap into the sky.  
Like a bullet train, I am moving faster than ever.  
Going to find myself a way,  
To find a better word – Zephyr.  
 
 
I want to be amazing, so that is what I have to be.  
Be good to me and I’ll keep it friendly.  
Stand in my way or try to hold me back,  
I’ll fold the edges of the universe and draw a new map.  
Time to be through the stars immediately.  
Time travel; space monkey.  
Are you following me?    
Then hold on tight because I have got to zoom!  
 
Go faster!    
 
 
Going to charge into the future,  
With a trail of spoken words left in my wake.  
Words that mattered then, matter now;  
Why else would I say it?  For my sake?  
No more holding back, open mind, open eyes,  
Life is a one way track, like a train on rails,  
With no stops en route;  
I break!  
Through the sound barrier with a sonic the hedgehog boom!  
And I shake the room, into view,  
Waking up statues.  
Pick an expression and stick with it.  
I ain’t coming back anytime soon.  
Just passing through, from me to you,  
I bid you adieu.  
 
 
Step one, step two,  
On through the thousandth step,  
Like an ostrich running,  
In a sun-bright morning,  
I’ll burst into view and take your breath away,  
I’ll pass right through; I’ll see you again someday,  
Like a blur of a man that you think you recognize,  
But that man ain’t me anymore;  
I have disappeared…goodbye.  
 
 
I have evolved constantly, in every way;  
A new page, a fresh face, a new day.  
Everything is getting better man.  
Peace, love and empathy ain’t just going away.  
 
 
I have no time to say it better,  
Better, better change;  
Improve the person you are.  
A woman with class, intelligence, beauty  
And one fine…laugh.  Ha, ha.  
See I want the best that I can have  
And if that means looking back at the history of me,  
Then okay; I’ll find a way, maybe.  
Adjust the car mirror,  
I only know my freeway to loving you.  
Stars in my head and the motor city in my heart,  
My feet are spinning faster than anybody ever knew.  
 
 
I leap over hurdles  
And with a three step hop,  
I am forever dodging curveballs,  
With a dot, dot, dot.  
 
 
I am running home,  
Got to get there soon,  
So put on Ok Go!  
For the one moment and enjoy the show;  
I ain’t got anything better to do.  
 
 
I ain’t got time to make a video of science;  
I’m writing word after word, after word…you should try it.  
I know one day this will all stop…  
 
But I ain’t done all this writing yet,  
So I will carry on;  
‘til the break of dawn when I see my home  
My eagle-eyes see her smiling,  
Waiting for me,  
With me;  
She tells me “you have no need to be alone.”  
 
 
I will raise my kids to know write from songs,  
‘til I have no words left inside my head,  
Until the day I forget.  
 
I will find a way for them to see…  
When love is a reality,  
Life becomes a dream.
