lyrics

I don’t want to be the ambitious one
Chasing after every rabbit that I stumble on
You think I might be that naïve
But I don’t want to lose all my hope in this
Drown in logical objectives that are infinite
You think I might be that naïve
Only believe in what I see
See it’s a long way down

I don’t want to be the ambitious one
Shed my sorrow like an oyster
Collect all I’ve found
You think my head is in the sand
I don’t need to be your idea of fun
Running after everywhere for someplace you belong
You think my head is in the sand
You want to see all you command
See it’s a long way down
