Catching Glimpses

lyrics

On the playground of my very first day
I was the new kid and new playtime cast away.
What happened next, now feels like fate
I started singing about my feelings
(off the top of my head)
Just to cope with the pain.
It's probably pointless and needless to say
But if you don't mind, have the time, here it goes anyway.
I now know why people say practice makes
perfect and patient persistence pays.
It was one fine day
in the month of May
Many years had come along
and many years had passed away
You know My hope was nearly gone
when "My Mind" hit airwaves.
And into motion, it set the wheels of change
Now I'm catching Glimpses of a life
I always dreamed that I’d attain.

I'm catching glimpses...
And ever since it started happening
It's like I'm living in an alternate reality
Things are starting to look up for me.
I'm catching glimpses...
Won't let opinions be the death of me
While everybody repeats unattainability
All my dreams are becoming reality.
I'm catching glimpses
Of you throwing glances
My way
My only wish is
That we'll take our chances
One fine day.

Now maybe it was all a misunderstanding
Or maybe it was my mistake
But now you know that I know
Behind my back You hang
With fork tongued friends
Always talking out the side of their face.
I'm often looking in the mirror
But I’m Staring at a strangers face
You know I’m trying to see it clearer
Through the blue of Me and You
And the void that all this waste creates.
I used to be the sunrise
And you used to be the sunset
But that was in the golden old days
When our love was our best bet.
