PIPE DREAM (Stauffer)

how this world retains its spin
how we manage is beyond me once again
just because now and then
a frozen panic in the pantry
how we manage is beyond me

it took all this time all this time
for time to tell
what the neighbors knew full well
and in my mind it finally rang a bell
better late than never

some of us are an easy sell
we act on impulse pray tell
and some of aren’t making out so well
and we don’t have forever

and i’m out in the yard
watching the rain fall on my shoes
been pretty hard not to think about you
gotta focus on things i can actually do
instead of a dream that couldn’t come true
instead of a pipe dream

in october this gets real
in october you can ask me how I feel

tell it to the moon
tell it to another night
you’ll finally get it right

just give me someone
can you give me someone
someone i can trust?
and maybe find me something
a little something
from when we were us
