Oasis

I want
To be where there’s life
To know the nature of reality
To feel the shock of the lightning
But I think I’d rather
Have a simple fairy tale.
But what’s my story (Morning Glory)?
And how do I get there?

I’m unable to roll with it
Though I try to soldier on
And instead I find
That I’m falling
And failing
‘Cause the way I’m feeling
Isn’t something I can tell you
Because I don’t think you want to
Hear.

I would definitely
Maybe
Catch the wheel
If I know it would take me to you
The maybe it’s only because
I can’t assure that I won’t,
Like a butterfly,
Be broken.

I just want a fairy tale,
That one happy spot
In the middle of life’s desert.
Though with your hand in mine
The desert’s a stage,
And the play in this case
Has an always-happy
Ending.
