On Another Time

Maybe I'll be everything you want
Maybe I'll be everything you need
Juxtapose these wants and needs and see what you believe

Maybe I'm not the man I'm s'posed to be
Maybe I'm just somebody else
Consumed by all this doubt and all the disbelief

Don't go chasing latent dreams
Don't go fighting wars you don't own
Don't try to find what's left in me
I am trying not to leave

Don't try to be all that you can
Dont try to be who you're not
I'll just trip on this staircase and tumble down alone, again

So this is where I bend
So what, I've been here before
It's not my concern nor is it yours so let's just let it end

Don't go chasing dead-end dreams
Don't go claiming what you don't own
Don't try to find what's left in me
I'm trying not to leave

One of these days I'll get my head straight
On another time, when I am mine
I know I will find that perfect rhyme
On another time, when I am gone
