Thinking I Can

[Verse 1]

Somewhere there’s a boat full of

All the things I’m too afraid to start

It holds all my fear

Lets itself stay tethered to the dock

It’s a stagnant thing

But with each wave, it still knows how to rock

Somewhere there’s a boat full of

All the things I’m too afraid to finish

It holds all my hope

Still don’t feel like it’s worth a dime

Lets the water rot its wood

Like it’s waiting for just the right time

[Chorus]

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I’m still asking the moon how

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I made the mistake of waiting on

Still make the mistake of waiting on

Thinking I can be something I never try to become

[Verse 2]

The timeline, pushed a little bit back has a kid

Still wishing on stars 

She doesn’t know

That what she’s looking at

Most of it is dead

It’s sky full of corpses

She dreams of shining like when she goes to bed

[Chorus]

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I’m still asking the moon how

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I made the mistake of waiting on

Still make the mistake of waiting on

Thinking I can be something I never try to become

[Bridge]

I watch my ships sail one by one

Because it’s easier

Than admitting I was wrong

Or maybe I was right

Or maybe I have tried and failed 

In all of my past lives

I watch my ships sail one by one

Because it’s easier

Than riding them out

[Final Chorus]

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I’m still asking the moon how

All the things I thought I’d be by now

I made the mistake of waiting on

Still make the mistake of waiting on

Thinking I can be something

When I never try

I never try

When I never try

I never try

I just keep thinking I can
