Song Lyrics

There once was a time
I had time on my hands
My hands in my pockets
And my pockets full of sand

I had nowhere to be
I could be anything
Anything that I wanted
And I wanted everything
Oh but now I'm older
With the weight of the world on my shoulders

I've got a job, I've got the kids
An ever longer someday list
I've got worries, I've got debt
I never seem to catch my breath
Yet it's the gravity that keeps my feet on the ground
This life that I've found

I had nowhere to run to
Well I'd come and I'd go
Like a warm summer tide
Bide my time and hit the road

I ran breathless and whole
Through the whole world around me
I found all I could hold
And I let it all surround me
Oh but now I'm older
With the weight of the world on my shoulders

I've got a job, I've got the kids
An ever longer someday list
I've got worries, I've got debt
I never seem to catch my breath
Yet it's the gravity that keeps my feet on the ground
This life that I've found

Well I'd say it all worked out
Out of blessings and of curses
And the worst without a doubt
It turned out was always worth it

I've got a job, I've got the kids
I'm getting to that someday list
Still got worries, Still got debt
I'm taking time to catch my breath
Yes it's the gravity that keeps my feet on the ground
This life that I've found
This life
