What happened to me?
Got a house and a tree
How great it could be,
you here with me
The walls were blank,
we could paint
What a perfect space
See, I was anticipating greatness
I said I would not get tired of waiting
But this is my mind
I can change at any time.
I walked through the space in my head today
The damage reported was too grave to say
I kicked out the crayons, pastels, and paints
I didn't care if the walls remained blank
I was anticipating greatness
I said I would not get tired of waiting
But this is my mind
I can change at any time.
I took a little pretty match
out of a brand new pack
flipped it around in my hand—
fun, don't you understand?
Struck on the side of the box
watched the flame come off,
come on
I was anticipating greatness
I said I would not get tired of waiting
But this is my mind
This is my mind
I walk outside
Do you see that light?
That's my pretty old house in the pretty old night
See that light?
That's my pretty old house in the pretty old night.
I was anticipating greatness
I got tired of waiting
I was anticipating greatness
How great it could be
How great it could be
