But Look At You

The recklessly brave they won't be enslaved they risk their lives day after day, night after night. and are fearless in flight I wish I could say the same I wish I could live on the edge of my seat Fingertips clutching a window ledge I wish I could wing walk on a biplane Or take a giant leap But the semantics of getting it right Or getting it wrong, have frightened me Beyond all belief, all along I've tried my best to be level-headed And sensible, utilitarian And make do But look at you Living it up like a rockstar without a care. You don't know how lucky you are. But at least what's mine is mine And I don't owe a dime And I can relax in my mind That -when I grow older I won't be looking over my shoulder For a wolf at the door, Asking -for more than I can ever give again. Oh, but look at you The recklessly brave Who won't be enslaved But knows it'll soon be all over.
