The assignment: "Write the first song on your new album."

lyrics

v1:
I've got 4 walls, I've even got a roof
I always wanted to believe in luck, so maybe that's the proof
I had lots of dreams, and some I never knew
They're the ones that mostly came true

ch:
All at once you realize it's out of your hands
Feels so good to not be making plans

v2:
Tell the truth, you're not ready to let go
What we believe is not the same as what we know
Some of us are lost and we're all running scared
Something's always happening and we're never prepared

ch:
All at once you realize it's out of your hands
Feels so good to not be making plans

br:
And when the shadows fall
They don't bother you at all
Got you up against the wall, but you're OK
There's no telling what it means
And no showing what you've seen anyway

- solo -

v3:
In the end, we all move from dust to dust
No need to ask, but ask if you must
Don't look down, we're all walking on the wire
But don't sit back, just waiting, for your time to expire

ch:
All at once you realize it's out of your hands
Feels so good to not be making plans

ch2:
And when, at last, you understand you're not in control
How does it feel to let it go?

I always wanted to believe in luck, so maybe that's the proof
