Might Never Happen

You say I work
Just so I'm busy
To keep my mind from the birthdays and clocks
When you talk
Oh, I'm not listening
I'm just tired of listenin' to things that I'm not

And I'm scared of missing
Something that hasn't happened, oh
And I'm scared of risking
Something that might never happen

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned
If you never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run

You say it's late and I've been tripping
Over the rocks that I threw
When I was young, forever slipping
Trying to fill my own shoes

Now I'm scared of missing
Something that hasn't happened, oh
And I'm scared of risking
Something that might never happen

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned
If you never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run

Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree
Oh, the things I dream, they frighten me
My wants and needs, they disagree

But you can't lose sleep
If you never had it
And you can't get hooked
If you don't have a habit
And you won't get burned if you
Never get close to the sun
So keep your eyes on the ground
Just keep your eyes on the ground
And run
