STABILITY
(words & music by Nate Butler)
I've got a clue what I have got to do
Make up a plan, and try to see it through
She's calling (in my head)
I am falling (out of bed)
She will be a rift in my stability
I couldn't sleep for tossing around my bed
Good memories gone bad inside my head
But dreaming (won't go on)
Reality streaming (right along)
Can this be my responsibility?
I can't find the time, for getting things squared away
I can't find the time, or peace of mind
And the days go by
Reality, it doesn't make dreams for free
Stability, it takes a lot of steam from me
She's calling (and she knows)
That I am falling (when she goes)
This will be so good my stability
I can't find the time, for getting things squared away
I can't find the time, and the days go bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye ...
I can't find the time--there must be something to believe
I can't find the time, or peace of mind--and the days go by...
(I'm getting things squared away)
Bye (there must be something to believe)
I can't find the time, there must be something to believe
I can't find the time, there must be something to believe
