Sometimes, you have to come to terms with your situation. Do I have what it takes to move on, and do more than just stand and watch what comes to pass.

Get a Grip
All my life, I've found it hard to deal with things beyond my grasp
And, I think that it's time that I dealt the cards, and,
stand and watch what's come to pass
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
But no matter how far I try and run away, they somehow manage to catch up with me
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
But no matter how close my dreams may seem
They somehow manage to slip away from me
When I can't escape my sleep, I find myself plunge deeper and deeper
And, I'm more afraid to be awake, 'cause in the waking world there's more at stake
It's hard to grasp onto reality, when you're not sure exactly what is real
But rest assured the price you pay is big
When you can't control the way you feel
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
But no matter how close my dreams may seem
They somehow manage to slip away from me
All my life, I've found it hard to deal with things beyond my grasp
And, I think that it's time that I dealt the cards, and,
stop and look at what's come to pass
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
But no matter how far I try and run away, they somehow manage to catch up with me
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away
But no matter how close my dreams may seem
They somehow manage to slip away from me
They somehow manage to slip away
They somehow manage to slip away
They somehow manage to slip away
They somehow manage to slip away
