For a minute, let's forget about it
Let's let me feel alright for one more second of my life
And in a minute, I'll say just what you want me to
And I'll try to be excited for what we're going through

But I had my directions and I laid out my plans
And I know what I said, but I thought you'd understand
And right when you think it's all falling into place
In a blink of an eye everything can change

For a minute, I want to start it all again
I want to try and make it perfect until the bitter end
And in a minute, I'll find a way to make this right
If I have to crawl through fire and stay awake all night

But I had my directions and I laid out my plans
And I know what I said, but I thought you'd understand
And right when you think it's all falling into place
In a blink of an eye everything can change

For a minute, I'm thinking that we might be okay
I know I've got the will and I think we'll find the way
And in a minute, it seems like everything can change
And the life you want to last forever always fades away

But I had my directions and I laid out my plans
And I know what I said, but I thought you'd understand
And right when you think it's all falling into place
In a blink of an eye everything can change
