Nineteen

Nineteen
not long ago there was a time
when everything would blow my mind
then i'd learn a bit more
then i'd learn a bit more
it canceled everything
i learned before
i said hey! i don't know what i'm doing
should i plan on my class reunion?
i've been working on a vision of clarity
this is how it boils down to me

anything is possible
anything and everything
when i was nineteen i thought i'd seen
everything i was gonna see
then I'd see a bit more
then I'd see a bit more
it canceled everything i'd seen before
i said hey! i thought i knew it all
i was setting up for one hell of a fall
writing down my philosophy songs
there one that still holds strong
with everyday that goes by
the less and less i wonder why
because i've seen them rise
and i've seen them fall
but i'll never claim to have seen them all
i said hey! i aint seen a thing
you never know what tomorrow will bring
i've been working on a state of mind
brace yourself for the ride
