Tea Leaves
Well I woke up middle-aged
No direction, no big dream
Halfway stuck up somewhere in-between
Went looking for relief
Read the signs surrounding me
But I don't think they mean a goddamn thing
It only matters what you do
Not what you think, or know, or speak
This modern world ain't built for the meek
It'll leave you torn in two
Bruised-beaten, drowning in the sea
Middle-aged and shaky at the knees
But alright, I'll believe your lies
Cause I can't seem to read the tea leaves
Every feeling in our bones
Every morning we wake up alone
With nothing left except our memories
"That's life" I heard you say
There'll always be something in the way
Nothing's ever as it seems...
But still a man can dream
Dream... a man can dream
The dream never ends for those who learn to love
And keep their eyes looking up above
The dream never ends for those who don't think small
Who keep their eyes looking at the dawn
But alright, I'll believe that you're right
'Til I don't need to read the tea leaves
No direction, no big dream
Halfway stuck up somewhere in-between
Went looking for relief
Read the signs surrounding me
But I don't think they mean a goddamn thing
It only matters what you do
Not what you think, or know, or speak
This modern world ain't built for the meek
It'll leave you torn in two
Bruised-beaten, drowning in the sea
Middle-aged and shaky at the knees
But alright, I'll believe your lies
Cause I can't seem to read the tea leaves
Every feeling in our bones
Every morning we wake up alone
With nothing left except our memories
"That's life" I heard you say
There'll always be something in the way
Nothing's ever as it seems...
But still a man can dream
Dream... a man can dream
The dream never ends for those who learn to love
And keep their eyes looking up above
The dream never ends for those who don't think small
Who keep their eyes looking at the dawn
But alright, I'll believe that you're right
'Til I don't need to read the tea leaves
