Little Marks

Please remind me of the view
From the house down in the woods
Where I could run out back, climb trees for hours straight
Where the neighbors took me in
Asked me all about my dreams
Watching me pretend to be an astronaut

We're so easily divided
Have our future so decided
Can't we have it any other way?
We got locked out of our hearts
Trapped our thoughts, and played our parts
Since we've been running up and down these walls

Oh, the clocks are telling me
All the things I should have been
What to make this short lift stay
If I just want to leave

I got pulled to way up north
My mind moving back and forth
I guess I take it with me where I go
Little steps make little ways
So how I sometimes feel ashamed
Of all the secrets that we choose to keep

I'll try and speak straight from the heart
Carry dreams throughout the dark
And may I never ever feel afraid
I got close to all I need
But somehow still feel incomplete
I guess new goals will only go so far

My shoes make little marks
As it suddenly snows hard
Walking on for sometime to come
But I've been growing older
With some weight upon these shoulders
And with it my dreams start to fade
