Miami Virtue

When I was young, still a kid 
  I was unprepared, never thought before I did 
  And now as I look back I can't believe it 
  I told lies, needed proof, I was further from the truth 
  So I locked myself in the corner of my room 
  Yeah I thought maybe my view could be better 
  I never knew what I did, it would all come back 
  I'd be forced to sift through all the misdirection 
  I believed in. 

  I relied on my youth, I could make up an excuse 
  And collected scars, yeah, I thought that I could choose 
  And my way would be destined to deliver 

  You never have as long as you want 
  So don't get caught up in the… 
  We never could take back time that we're wasting 

  I only hope that you've been listening 
  But I doubt you could repeat a thing 
  Yeah I've been in that seat before 
  It's always easy to ignore 
  When no one wants or needs advice 
  From someone they don't think is right 
  And just cause I've been wrong before 
  It doesn't mean I don't want more for 

  You live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure 
  (But ya) Do cause you've already seen and 
  You know the routine now 
  (We) maybe could meet in the middle 
  It's not too difficult 
  (To) Cause we're both just stuck with spinning wheels 

  The odds aren't any easier on either side 
  And just because you say it doesn't make it right 
  Don't think I ever could repay you 
  But it's still my life 
  I hope I never have to say or go forever a day 
  Without You 

  (You) live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure 
  (But ya) 
  (Do) cause you've already seen and 
  You know the routine now 
  (We) maybe could meet in the middle 
  It's not too difficult 
  (To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time, but 
  (You) never have as long as you want so don't get caught up 
  (But ya) 
  (Do) Yeah you've already seen and it's not any easier but 
  (We) maybe could meet in the middle 
  It's not too difficult 
  (To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time.
