Getting Ahead of Myself - Live
Always lived with the feeling
The end could be coming soon
Learned to live with the pa-ra-noi-a
Learned to run on the fumes
It's tempered by realization
It's no good to live in fear
At least I'm taking nothing for granted
And so far, I'm still here
Maybe someday I'll slow down
And won't have to push so hard
Watch my sunshine girl turn gray
And chase her kids in the yard
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today
The climb today so uncertain
Who's gonna prick the balloon?
And I can be high strung to begin with
So I'm hardly immune
Fear sketches Death in a turban
Hate tucks a bomb in a shoe
Justice ignites, but the fire
Burns more than the guilty few
Maybe someday we'll wake up
With sorrow swept away
Gather rainbow colors 'round
And teach ourselves to play
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today
And the success that I strive for
It's nothing to another man
We've never played on the main stage
Or put a Dove in the can
But we'll keep on chasing the shiver
Bury it deep in red
Until it's locked in your brainwaves
Can't pull it from your head
I've still got some big ideas
And I'm gonna see them through
I can't help but think that one
Could make that dream come true
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
Shine a light into the dark
And try to find my way
I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you
I thank you for today
Thank you
Thank you, thank you
I wanna thank you
Please, thank you
The end could be coming soon
Learned to live with the pa-ra-noi-a
Learned to run on the fumes
It's tempered by realization
It's no good to live in fear
At least I'm taking nothing for granted
And so far, I'm still here
Maybe someday I'll slow down
And won't have to push so hard
Watch my sunshine girl turn gray
And chase her kids in the yard
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today
The climb today so uncertain
Who's gonna prick the balloon?
And I can be high strung to begin with
So I'm hardly immune
Fear sketches Death in a turban
Hate tucks a bomb in a shoe
Justice ignites, but the fire
Burns more than the guilty few
Maybe someday we'll wake up
With sorrow swept away
Gather rainbow colors 'round
And teach ourselves to play
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
So I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you for today
And the success that I strive for
It's nothing to another man
We've never played on the main stage
Or put a Dove in the can
But we'll keep on chasing the shiver
Bury it deep in red
Until it's locked in your brainwaves
Can't pull it from your head
I've still got some big ideas
And I'm gonna see them through
I can't help but think that one
Could make that dream come true
But there
I'm getting ahead of myself again
Shine a light into the dark
And try to find my way
I hope I see tomorrow
And I thank you
I thank you for today
Thank you
Thank you, thank you
I wanna thank you
Please, thank you
