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
