Changing the past

\nI talk to you and understand the way that life could be,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 If I had chosen other paths to tread.
\nI’ll try to learn to live the way I write my poetry
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And maybe live again before I’m dead.
\nI can’t regret the life I’ve had but things are changing fast
\nAnd every word you say to me’s a doorway to the past.<\/p>\n
When I was young I only thought I want a simple life;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A job that pays and lets me play around.
\nSo I became a scientist and found myself a wife,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I thought my feet were firmly on the ground.
\nI didn’t know my heart was tied and needed space to fly,
\nNow every time I speak to you I know I have to try.<\/p>\n
I should have seen that it takes two to keep things on the boil
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And I was only one prepared to fight.
\nIt’s wasn’t years that changed the world and left a life to spoil
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 But over time I couldn’t save the light.
\nAnd now I find I need to think about where life can lead
\nAnd every word I say to you’s another chance to feed.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I’ll stay and fade away, perhaps I’ll start again,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I cannot tell but now I see the choice.
\nYou showed me that it’s up to me so now I know the pain,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I still have got to exercise my voice.
\nThe ways ahead are different and changes happen fast
\nAnd every word you say to me’s a doorway to the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
