Chasing a Dream, 3 Years Strong

It was only one day, one day thought to change...
everything...
but it turned into an earthquake
Why was it me so determined to be the fool
all in hopes to be simply cool
How am I meant to be, who was I meant to be
if I can't be the person I used to be
Countless times, endless trials proved futile
as I try to correct my misdoings
but half of them blew up in my face
a time-bomb I never saw coming
and to this day, I still worry
about what I don't need to
My mind's going a 100 in a 55
while rock n roll is doing it's best to keep me whole
other than the chance of chasing this dream
and a dark-haired sorceress I met long ago
nearly three years
I've been here too long, spent too much time
I'm ready to leave, ready to go home
back to all I left behind
so something can boost my happiness
suppressed under my last serenade
