Life is like music - You can make mistakes so you try again. But when the piece can't be helped you try again another time.

Do you ever wish
You could leave this earth
Leave this planet
Or maybe the universe

Do you ever wish
You could find a hole
Until the sky clouds over
Around the world as a whole

Do you ever wish
Time stopped ticking
Even for a moment
The clock stopped clicking

So that you could think about
The choices you make
How they effect your life
Making it real or fake

Making it how you want to live
In a minute, hour or day
So that no silly mistakes
Can ever again be made
