The world as you'd have it and the world as it is
Sliding in and out of focus, does it ever get to fit
The world as you'd have it and the world as it seems
Keep a sense of the sadness
But drive it out of your dreams
Grit your teeth and say world as it is
I've arrived at the point somewhere in between
The person that I wanted to be and the person I've been
Something's eating me today
Because the question mark in my guts
Says there's hell to pay, hell to pay
I grit my teeth and say world as it is
The world as you'd have it, the world that you see
The world as we'd have it is the world as it will be
