Choose Your Own Adventure

Lyrics

Time flies
Sometimes way too fast like this
Time rolls
Sometimes way too slow
Like an arctic ice flow

And I wish that I could turn the page to see where it goes
And I wish that I could turn the page to see where it goes

Things change
Sometimes way too fast like this
Things change
Sometimes way too slow
Like the desert wind blows

And I wish that I could turn the page to see where it goes
And I wish that I could turn the page

To see if option A yields a better end
Or if it leads to broken hearts and dreams
I'd bet that action B brings me to the wrong end
While C is surely tempting
Improvident, but tempting

Suns rise
And sometimes fall too fast
Like a space rock impact
Dawn arrives
But sometimes dusk comes slow

And I wish that I could turn the page to see where it goes
And I wish that I could turn the page

To see if option A yields a better end
Or if it leads to broken hearts and dreams
I'd bet that action B brings me to the wrong end
While C is surely tempting
Improvident, but tempting

From here, it matters little: that which I would choose
If I were the bearer of such hyper-precognition

So should I snuff the fire? Light the fuse?
Or do I endure and let the embers lay?
