up and went to work in the morning
I was playing in the same house again
Time had flown and I stood still,
now I'm starting at the en d
It's funny how we forget some things,
some are just like yesterday
Some will lock away our rooms,
but they never really go away
So I got to filling holes, priming wood,
I was painting the same house again
Fixing what don't look so good,
I wasn't thrilled it came within
I saw a chance to change the good,
what I stood, what I always was
It was a free shot at redemption,
everyone wants a resurrection
A man is known for what he's done,
not what he has plans to do
and it's coming back to haunt you
leaves you trying to change
the channels in your head
Youth makes fools of us all
No, we ain't got nine lives,
recognize, better make it ten
It's the only thing you ever can change for the better,
We ain't got nine lives, it would be nice,
It's the only thing in world
that can change for the better
Filling holes in the wood
Fixing what don't look so good
I kinda hoped I always would
Things that always had a meaning
An d I've been cleansing my soul
Returned that garden on my stone
Maybe they still don't know
