Well I think that it might be
Success is farther off the further you go
And I think that we'd all be
Better off the less we know

And you know it can't all be
A bed of roses and a river of gold
I say baby, if you ask me
I'm gonna plant roses of my own

And I won't be here when you say
You cannot live through another day
And I listen as you escape
Would you sit down and create

So you say that you want to be
A little bigger than they say you can go
But any waveknow it's gonna be
A little higher than the shore

Well than one day you're gonna wake up
A little higher than the day before
And anyway baby, better take it
After all you're rock and roll

And I won't be here when you say
You cannot live through another day
And I listen as you escape
Would you sit down and create

Well you know I can feel you
You don't have to go through this on your own
At least baby if you call me
Then you won't feel so alone

And I won't be here when you say
You cannot live through another day
I know how you need an escape
Would you sit down and create
