Finish Line

Have you ever felt like you wanted something so bad, but you know somehow deep in your heart that you can't have it? Or that you want something that you don't even know whether it is the real thing or the truth. You think too much about what you want and then you tend to expect too much even though you know that you shouldn't. Then at the end of the day, you have to console your own heart, when that thing you really want so bad turned out to be different than what you had in mind or disappoint you. And you finally think that you are too tired to go through this anymore. Why bother? Hmmmm...

The earth is warm next to my ear
Insect noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear

A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and ticker tape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch

Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A sad parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Bluest seas, running to them

I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
