VERSE 1
I burn my bridges brightly
To show how far I've come
I hold my secrets tightly
So my past is deaf and dumb
The fantasies of every day
Will keep me safely numb
And my world waits wondering

VERSE 2
There's been love in stages
And love made unreserved
Love, it always changes
And sometimes well-deserved
The movements of emotions
Are often not observed
And my world waits wondering

BRIDGE
The history of my heart
Like the memory I've become
Leaves behind the aches and joys
Of things I might have done

And when I think I've reached the end
There's another door
And I'm tempted to open it
Just once more
Just once more

VERSE 3
Life won’t let my dreams stop
Til wisdom comes along
They’re captured by each teardrop
They’re captured in a song
Ever new illusions
Shorn by even newer truths
And my world waits wondering
And my world waits wondering
And I wonder if I’ll always keep on wondering
