Ball
I'm bouncing around
Just looking for where to go
But half the time I'm bouncing
It's just for show.
Can't stay in one place
Or someone might think
The reason I'm still
Is that my life is out of sync
It's none of their business
Some people might say
But, I can't just not care
'Cause they won't go away.
My air is deflated
The pavement is rough
But that's no excuse,
So, I've gotta get tough.
I can't let life defeat me
But, tell that to my heart
It keeps sinking faster
Waiting for a jump start.
They don’t tell you that
You’re living in a bubble
Until the day it pops
And you see you are in trouble
Real life, real bills
Real job, fewer thrills
Gotta work, gotta work
All your life and show your skills
So bounce far, bounce wide
Just not too high
And maybe one day
You can roll with a sigh.
