Overview
Nearsighted
by Daniel Corey
Don’t go slowing down
Don’t go moving around
Don’t you reach too far
Stay right where you are
Knowing all the things I’m told
The sight of failure’s getting old
Don’t you speak to me
Don’t be so absurd
I’m just thinking back
Remembering all your words
I’m just thinking ‘bout this year
Built around my fear
Grace keeps falling off my back
Slip slip sliding through the cracks
The meaning of it all is going slack
I sometimes wonder what you think I’m going through
Nearsighted and I’m blinded at the sight of you
Don’t you feel too proud
Don’t you scream out loud
Nothing ever stayed
King and pawns will play
All the things I meant to say
Common sense got in my way
Grace keeps falling off my back
Slip slip sliding through the cracks
The meaning of it all is going slack
I sometimes wonder what you think I’m going through
Nearsighted and I’m blinded at the sight of you
