The Backyard Of My Life

Blow Up In Smoke


Riding the wave down in the groove
Somewhere in the city it was summer
Thought the hard days where over
Nobody told me there would be times like these
I was just coming up now am down on me knees
Days where flying fast life was going great
Tomorrow was full of promise i couldn't wait
To do it all over again

When out of nowhere
My dreams blow up in smoke
Burning fire dark blue flames
Life is unpredictable its only a game
There's beauty in pleasure and pain
Now is not forever

Thought i had it all figured out
Learned all my lessons thought i knew the score
Holding a master key to behind that locked door
Sometimes life can just surprise you
To keep you on your toes
For no reason at all
Anything goes when anything is possible
Perfectly perpetually slipping below the radar
Time and time again

When it hits you like a freight train
Your dreams blow up in your face
Then your picking up the pieces
Life is precocious in the most peculiar way
The end is only beginning of something new

Sitting with my feet up on cloud nine
Peace in my heart it was heaven on a Sunday
I thought the struggle was only in my mind
Somebody said be careful what you wish for
Questions are answers washed up on the shore
Nights where falling by like the rain
Everlasting eternity nothing ever stays the same
You don't get half a wave in the ocean

Pretending that i had noticed not
That our problems are own own creation
Being born blind with instant amnesia we all forgot
The cause was there we created the situation

When out of nowhere
My dreams blow up in smoke
Burning fire dark blue flames
Life is unpredictable its only a game
There's beauty in pleasure and pain
Now is not forever
Now is not forever
Now is not forever
