Living The Crazy Life

I watch the grass slowly ripple as the slow breeze gently stirs it
Some sort of calmness seems to fill me as I watch it blow
It seems to say that everything is now meant to settle down
And that somehow I have found where I'm meant to go

'Cause I'd been living the crazy life for a quite a while now
Everything seeming to only add to complete insanity
I'd been living the crazy life, felt it would be fun
I'd been living the crazy life … now it's time to go home

Suddenly, everything seems so clear and simple, everything makes sense
I finally understand exactly what things tell me
Now that I allow myself to understand what I had felt
I notice that I had been ignoring what I had seen
I allow myself to drift into what I had been before
Seeing exactly what I had been somehow been neglecting to realize
For now I see that maybe, now I allow myself to see,
The world seems different- it's through different eyes

'Cause I'd been living the crazy life for quite a while now
Everything spinning around and chaotic
I'd been living the crazy life, nothing really made sense
I'd been living the crazy life… now it's time to go home

I had looked on life with an outside view, of someone looking in
I hadn't really placed myself inside
But now I see exactly what I had barely glimpsed before
And, from my mind's conclusions, I simply cannot hide
For nothing seems to make sense, at least not how it did
Because I hadn't intended on my life turning so fast
One moment, sad, now the next moments of realization
I wonder how long that this new found knowledge will last?

'Cause I'd been living the crazy life for quite a while now
Everything turning from pastel to bright
I'd been living the crazy life, nothing left to know
I'd been living the crazy life… now it's time to go home

Now everything, while not in neon, is in lovely pastel shades
And Christmas music still fills me with ecstatic feelings of rapture
I haven't lost myself, I have only spent time learning
For all those moment's memories I only had to capture

Musical Interlude

'Cause I'd been living the crazy life for quite a while now
Everything collapsing into Entropy
I'd been living the crazy life, disorder everywhere
I'd been living the crazy life… now it's time to go home
