they say life goes right before your eyes
ten years gone in what seemed like seven days
and yet sometimes i sit off to the side
watch the world zoom past
and swear that my life is on stand-by

kids trying to be grown up
and grown ups trying to be kids
a life so defined by lack of definition
so much meaning with ambiguous inspiration

songs and movies of those who seek
the perfect partner...
their perfect partner
everlasting

but really isn't all we seek
just our own inspiration?
