R. To The A
C.J. Lewis Lyrics

Maybe we're all fools
Perhaps we are all naive and gullible.

Maybe we're all liars
Perhaps we are all deceitful and untruthful.

Maybe it's that we're bent and broke
Perhaps it's because we are deformed and destitute.

pulled and stretched beyond our fibers
Exhausted and worn out beyond our capacity.

These days are getting long
These times are becoming tedious and overwhelming.

Baby I'm just tired
I am simply fatigued and drained.

When I think back on better days
Recalling bygone times when things were better.

Back when I thought I had it made
When I believed that everything was perfect for me.

I can't go back I know
I am aware that I can no longer return to the past.

Cause the lessons burned inside
Because the experiences taught me powerful lessons that still affect me.

won't let me go
Prevent me from moving on and leaving the past behind.

You can't hurry the makers wine
You cannot rush the natural aging process that produces a high-quality beverage.

Cause with each day that passes
The more time goes by, the more I feel nostalgic.

I want my rose-colored glasses back on
I long to perceive everything through an optimistic, idealistic filter.

Think back on yesterday
Reflect on memories of the past.

You can quiet your worried mind
You can pacify your anxious thoughts and concerns.

I can't go back I know
I am certain that I cannot relive the past.

Cause the lessons burned inside
Because the life lessons I learned still pain me and influence me.

Cause with each day that passes
As each day goes by, my yearning for past beauties increases.

I want my rose-colored glasses back on
I hanker to don positive and joyful lenses when looking at the world.
