If happiness is chanced upon, it is easily lost
But I have strived for this, against the odds
So I know how much it cost
How long can I afford to be lost
I have been, so I know I can be happy
I mastered these parameters
But they change as I age
What am I aiming at today
I'm on the same path that I've always been
Music as my medium
How many times have I found myself
By the water's edge, at 4am
Your wisdom pouring into me
Shimmering
How long, how long, how long can I afford to be lost
When happiness is here again, no pain will last
Amnesiac, you forget the past
So I don't care how much it costs
'Cas without love, I am lost
I'm on the same path that I've always been
Music as my medium
How many times have I found myself
By the water's edge, at 4am
Your wisdom pouring into me
As if you're listening to me
As if you're listening to me
Reflected thoughts
I'm on the same path that I've always been
Music as my medium
How many times have I found myself
By the water's edge, at 4am
Your wisdom pouring into me
Shimmering
How long, how long, how long can I afford to be lost
