i am brian jeffrey

get it right

 


i can't trust no one
don't trust myself
i put my dreams
up on the shelf

 

made a compromise
along the way
begin again
live for today

 

once in a while you get it right
can't claim a win
without the fight
well i don't know if all that’s true
it's not what you say
it's what you do


where is this long road leading me
how will i know which way to turn
can i stand up when i fall
do i know anything or nothing
at all

 

staring through the windshield
watching as the street lines roll along
see the years in my rearview
all the places that i haven't gone
destinations on the horizon
so many faces seem unclear
twenty years on the wrong path
no more living my life in fear

 

once in a while you get it right
take your time
enjoy the ride
it's not as long as it may seem
the right road will lead you to your dreams

 

where is this long road leading me
how will i know which way to turn
can i stand up when i fall
do i know anything or nothing
at all

 

you can not know what life can be
until you live it effortlessly
it all comes down to finding
meaning in everything

 

where is this long road leading me
how will i know which way to turn
can i stand up when i fall
do i know anything or nothing
at all
