Dylan Mondegreen For The Innocent And Young
I never had
a brilliant masterplan
for how my life should turn out
if I was not in a band
I had no dreams
of working nine to five
Never thought a day job
would make me feel alive
I never thought a house
would make much of a home
unless being filled with love
for the innocent and young
I never thought
prestige would equal cool
It's a mystery why I did
attend medical school
The books were dull
The whole concept made me sad
I took an education
just to please my mum and dad
And wondered how my days
would form a normal life
That piece in the puzzle
was my kid and my wife
What most take for granted
was not an easy task
but I'll leave that in the past
and move on
'Cause my life should not
just revolve around myself
Got so much more to offer
everybody else
Still I find some time
for my songs and my guitars
'cause if you really want it
that really isn't hard
Some dreams have been replaced
by short sleepless nights
We built our house on hopes and love
for the innocent and young
