"Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the start, seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, it's ok not to be ok".


A perfect dreamer,
Always shooting for stars,
Crashing from the glitter of its sparks,
Just missing my mark.

A new beginning,
Seems like forever to only start,
Now I’m just praying
This time I wont miss my mark.

If stars don’t align,
If it doesn’t stop time,
If I can’t see the sign,
-
I wont know whats next,
If I did my best,
If this was a test
I know how far,
I have really come.
How far,
I have really come.
And its just because…
We’re made of bricks.

Hold on darlin,
Too many steps at once,
Just look at how far,
we have truly come.

I found my shooting star,
And it only took me one chapter.
Now I know who we truly are,
I dug deep down under.

If stars don’t align,
If it doesn’t stop time,
If I can’t see the sign,
-
I wont know whats next,
If I did my best,
If this was a test
I know how far,
I have really come.
How far,
I have really come.
And its just because…
We’re made of bricks.

Drinkin on cheap bottles of wine,
Sippin, staying up all night.
Partying under the street light,
Don’t know when I’ll come back.
I’m laughing but I’m close to tears,
Working hard all these years,
Don’t know when I’ll come back.

A perfect dreamer,
Always shooting for stars…

If stars don’t align,
If it doesn’t stop time,
If I can’t see the sign,
-
I wont know whats next,
If I did my best,
If this was a test
I know how far,
I have really come.
How far,
I have really come.
And its just because…
We’re made of bricks.
Made of bricks...
