"Time To Time" lyrics

Days gone by the west coast waves, crash up against the shore
Of a beach I haven't been to or at least can't remember no more
My love and constitutions they only get me so far
It doesn't take but one look up to know how hard it is to reach the stars
And I've felt my share of loneliness, still feel it now from time to time
I try to get some rest, these issues tend to fade with morning light
But even if my darkness has decided where it stays
I suppose that I will close my eyes and try to find another way
Is it love that keeps me planted here or the fear of something new
Won't come along if I leave either way I don't know what to do
I've tried my best to figure out those pieces that I lack
Now I feel all that I've lost pulling me back
Oh yes, I feel all that I've lost pulling me back

Seashells on the east-coast, find them buried in the sand
Of a beach I haven't been to but you said you hope one day I can
All the inspirations you've amounted in your life
They find their way right back to me through quotes and colors that you live by
And is it through the regrets or achievements in your life
That you manifest the compass that will try to steer me in the right
Direction is a funny thing when tides and currents change
It's a burden that I carry one you've carried all the same
Just a number's number cycling through everything
Finding what escaped you in those days
And it isn't that I want to live the life you never did
It's just for my sake I will learn from your mistakes
Oh, yes, for my sake I will learn from your mistakes
