Pipe Dreams Songtext
von Aviator

When I was younger, I made so many plans
I thought that they were within reach
Life got the best of them, before I could notice
My rock slipped out from under me

Hazy in taste
I missed the mark of making the most of me
The future recedes
Optimism gives way to bitterness and apathy
Caught between a childhood dream
And responsibility
Balancing reality
With what my mother said to me


"You could do anything
You just can′t do everything"

Now I'm at the crossroads of youthful energy
And expectations set on me
And all that I′ve learned
Within uncertainty
All plans are subject to change
Caught between a childhood dream
And these new priorities
Balancing reality
With what my father said to me

"You could be someone great
You just need authority"

Some might say I'm naive
I'm afraid I might agree
