"Cherry Tree" lyrics

In between awake and sleeping
When the door opens to dreaming
That's when music starts playing
That's when the words come to me
And I leap from the dream to catch it
But by then it has run away
So it is this fear of losing
Every time I finally lay

Oh, did I waste my time
Lying in the sun like
It comes so easy
And everything's just for me
Life's a big old cherry tree
Chasing rainbows and
Staying high
And nothing gonna take me down
I am so me now

What does it mean to be consumed by ideas
But only in your sleep
Is this a cruel joke
My mind is playing on me?
It's like they got a leash on their minds
Mines loose a busy street
And he's got in his mouth the ticket
That's gonna set me free

Oh, did I waste my time
Lying in the sun like
It comes so easy
And everything's just for me
Life's a big old cherry tree
Chasing rainbows and
Staying high
And nothing gonna take me down
I am so me now
I am so me now

Midlife will sneak up on you
You end up on your knees
Asking it where it went wrong
Asking it what it needs
And everyone else is flying
So high they can hardly see
That you're stuck down on the ground
With ideas won't come to be

Oh, am I wasting time
Chasing old dreams and
Fearing the night
Now the whole thing brings me down
And I can't stop asking why
Nothing's where it's supposed to be
Not even in my own mind
I no longer feel like me
I no longer feel like me
I no longer feel like me
