1
Here I am again on the 38th floor
2
The view is good, but my mind is out the door
3
Staring at a screen all day, there's no further I can sink
4
Can't help but think I've somehow flushed my life away
5
I've flushed it away!
6
Every day the same, every meeting a corporate game
7
I wouldn't be surprised if my boss doesn't know my name
8
I don't know myself, I can't stand who I've become
9
Coerced by fear, pressure and strain forced my career
10
Get me out of here, take me to a place where I can see
11
something different than what's in front of me
12
Silence my fear that I'm not where I should be
13
That the door that was closed...it was closed by me
14
If only I had another chance to go back to the point
15
where I was scared to take the risk, so I abandoned what I love
16
If only I had another shot to go back where my soul
17
was bought and sold by a poor decision, my "now" wouldn't need revision
18
And every day I get so bored, nothing seems to change
19
The doubt about the choice I made rings like thunder in the rain
20
I'm just a grain of sand on an endless beach,
21
another face in the crowd
22
I could have held the playing hand that took me out of the mundane's reach
23
and walked the path my dreams allowed
24
(x2)
25
Instead I've got another meeting
26
Gotta keep the company strong
27
Gotta keep the company strong
28
The boss has asked for overtime
29
He'll make sure the day drags on
30
He'll make sure the day drags on
31
What have I done? Where have I gone?
32
Everything and everywhere I knew was wrong
33
What have I seen? Where are my dreams?
34
Nothing and nowhere but a computer screen
35
(x4)
36
Here I am again on the 38th floor
37
The view is good as I'm walking out the door
38
One choice that cost so much made life unrecognizable,
39
but I have another chance to make my goal realizable
40
I can't undo what's been done,
41
but I have to try to fix what's wrong
42
To let my dreams be my guide
43
They now refuse to be denied
44
I may not find the way back out
45
of the mess I've made, but I'm about
46
to swallow pride, 'cause I'm walking out!
47
The time is now to change my life!
