Appleseed

Last night it came to me
Trapped in my head like an apple seed
As I lay in bed
I thought about things that I now regret
Spent last night out with my friends getting stoned
Now they're gone
Can someone please tell me if it's time for me to move on?

And this I say to you
In no uncertain terms
Yes I swear it's true
What I'm trying to say takes too long to explain
We'll get there someday
It feels like the end
But it's yet to begin and we're gone
The timing is off and the clock on the wall's reading wrong

The open road is all I've ever known
It's been too long now it's time I sooth my soul
Takes the heart of an empire rid of gems
Don't let William tell you it's not bloomed from a stem
'Cause we are one of them

Last night it came to me
Trapped in my head like an apple seed
And as I lay asleep
Echoing deep in an endless dream
I danced with the answer but just as I reached it was gone
The timing was off and the clocks on the walls reading wrong

Now this I beg of you
Circling beam in this ocean blue
Does what I long to learn
Take too long to explain?
Will I watch it burn?
It feels like the end though it's yet to begin
And we're gone
Can someone please tell me if it's time for me to move on?

The open road is all I've ever known
It's been too long now it's time I sooth my soul
Takes the heart of an empire rid of gems
Don't let William tell you it's not bloomed from a stem

The open road is all I've ever known
It's been too long now it's time I sooth my soul
Takes the whole of a desert full of sand
To scratch only the surface with the stroke of a pen
And this is one of them
