I'm learning that not everything is good
And I'm learning that you can't be the world

When you say to me, Someday
Do you mean it's far away?
Every time I cry
There comes the rain
So watch the sky

I never lived up to what I thought I'd be
But with you it's always the better side of me
Now hanging in the in-between
Paralyzed and oddly free
The little voices tell me I will never see
Past bittersweet

I can only go so far and then it's up to you
Delusions of larkspurs and violets then the prophecies come true
Fireworks and phone calls and I'm waiting
It's your turn to prove
Mirrors and debating
Looking into faces
Wanting to run away, and
I can't ask for anything more, but this bittersweet
Can only carry me so far, and I would run or I would fly
Or I could crawl
Just to get past the bittersweet
Just to climb a transparent wall
So I can spend my Somedays close to you
