Mother Once Said

Take it
That roller-coaster ride ticket to wait
Where you know you'll have it all
Where you know it don't take that much
To slip and fall
Where that sky that you loved now seems so goddamn small
And the ones who say no words well they say it all
And all you wanted was to believe

My mother once said if it's meant to be than it's meant to be
So why don't you try to be a little more easy on yourself
And look at your heart and try to put it back to where it started please
Don't you worry about me
I guess you'll have to wait and see it in the movies

It's a progress
A progress that you learn for yourself
It's not a lesson from someone else
Yet not a crime that you pull off easily on your own
And the fat lady so desperately tries to call you back home
But your shoes are over shined and they stand alone
Where all you wanted was to believe

Now I've found solid ground
But nothing seems to aid this earthquake state of mind
Look around, slam that round
You know it's gonna burn all the way down
No, let it go
Let it go
You know your feet are right where they are meant to be

All you wanted was to believe
