lyrics

Used to take my coffee with a little cream and sugar
Now I can't stand the sweetness, bitter's what delivers
Every night, fight or flight, I lose sight
Of what I want

Sunday mornings, sweating in the kitchen
And there's something missing, then I realize
I could have, all through brunch, bottomless mimosas by myself

Take me back on that path, to life's finest things
Yellowstone's great hot springs, Saturn's rings, and grander dreams

It is within my reach, and once I reach the peak
Perspective shifts, I'm on the edge of the cliff, and I can see

These ghosts in my head they don't own me
They don't even really know me
Though they try to control me
I just let them be 'cause
Dark clouds, they'll continue to roll by
But when they go I know that I am fine
The world is vast I am not confined
I have still got time

I once got tricked on a Tuesday night
When the gin and juice whispered it wasn't worth the fight
But now I know that it lied and I find
A new peace of mind

It is within my reach, and once I reach the peak
Perspective shifts, I'm on the edge of the cliff, and I can see

These ghosts in my head they don't own me
They don't even really know me
Though they try to control me
I just let them be 'cause
Dark clouds, they'll continue to roll by
But when they go I know that I am fine
The world is vast I am not confined
I have still got time

Take me, on the path to grander dreams
Take me, on the path to grander dreams
Oh take me, to grander dreams
Oh take me, to grander dreams

These ghosts in my head they don't own me
They don't even really know me
Though they try to control me
I just let them be 'cause
Dark clouds, they'll continue to roll by
But when they go I know that I am fine
The world is vast I am not confined
I have still got time
