Take me there, take me back
I want the challenge to come back
I want to try out the other options

I want to live
and wish to learn
Oh, live and learn


Take me there, take me back
I want to show who I am

They bounce the ball but not me
I want to be their subject
and remain me

Oh, remain me

It must be great

to stay collected
and yet express
How I admire

that way of being

If this challenge is worth it

It will return, yes
Will I ever be
in their circle of relaxed?

Will I ever go upstairs
where it smells good?


It must be great
to stay collected
and yet express

How I admire
that way of being


Fifty percent just isn't enough
How is it
that I long for a hundred

and yet only bring it half of the time?
I let loose, I do, at times
Yet on the other side

I forget about it
Fifty percent just ain't gonna cut it
I desire to

put those strings out there
I'd rather my expression is seen
than stay in this hole

where nothing is seen
and nothing is heard


Take me there

Unused lyrics:

Maybe my way of smiling
is too inner and not
concerned with the outer

Can an inward-turned smile
attach people's eyes
in a desirable way?
