Searching For Eternity

Wanted it to last forever something I could trust

A little more than friendship and lust

You want it all to seem so just

Not necessarily like California or bust,

Every woman needs a man

And he’s supposed to do the best he can

Some of them gave up and ran

That wasn’t in the universal plan,

Guess I lost to eternity

It felt so good it felt so free

The illusion of milk and honey

May seem grim but it’s also funny,

I was searching for eternity

Thought I saw it in your eyes you see

But it was a shipwreck on the way to destiny

You better just let nature be,

Sometimes life can be a drag

You’re stuck in a wet paper bag

When I was little played a game of freeze tag

Now I’m watching fools burn our nation’s flag,

Reached out to you in the middle of the night

My chest was feeling kind of tight

Trying to separate the wrong from the right

It seemed my God was out of sight,

It’s just not time to die

Even when all the colors run dry

Even when the earth meets with the sky

Even when I hear her cry.
