Have You Ever

Have you ever felt like you wanted to escape life? That you just wanted to runaway To a place where it's calm, where you can find solitude Where you can live your fairytale? Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever gotten angry at time for running away and not waiting? Ever imagined that your life belonged to someone else? Ever thought what would happen if humans stopped pretending and be themselves Did you wonder about travelling all around the world? Or staring into the sunset with the one you love? Have you ever felt that way? Do you wish to stop time and do everything you've wanted to? Meet back old friends, reminiscence Did you wish for the perfect lover, family and job? Or how about going back in time and erasing all your mistakes? Have you ever felt that way? Well I have I've felt all those ways But life is multi-coloured and rainbows only last for minutes Love is a poison that only speeds up time Friendship like a story that unwinds Well, What if today was your last day And time didn't care? Would you run and tell the one you love how you felt? Would you hug you friends and shout out how much they meant? Would you forget your mistakes and live for today Because you knew there'd be no tomorrow? Would you live each day as if it were your last? And consider each day a gift and not a prize? If only you would You'd see the true meaning of life You won't ever be alone, everything would be alright Because at that moment You would finally start to live.
