[Verse 1] There’s another version of me Who learned to sit still Never needed every stranger To understand his will He didn’t build a dozen worlds Or chase another stage He found enough inside a room And let enough feel safe [Chorus] Sometimes I envy him Sometimes he envies me He dreams about the airplanes I dream about his peace Neither one could have it all That’s the bargain we receive Every choice creates a person We will never get to be [Verse 2] There was one who made more music One who disappeared One who chose the safest road And one who lived without fear One who gave his life to study One who threw the plans away They gather at the edge of sleep And ask me why I stayed [Bridge] I tell them I was curious I tell them I was scared I tell them I kept choosing Whatever still felt rare [Outro] Then morning comes And all of us Become this life again
