It's a tragedy in waiting
When something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on

It's a tragedy in waiting
When there's something on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
Call it pleasure if you like
But believe me when I say
A busy mind will learn to change it all

It's not like I'm asking for the world to fall apart
I know that it's eventually to come (whoa)

Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may
Graduate into a perfect state--
A perfect state of mind

Have you ever left your suitcase open long after you land
And you're scared to fold away all of your clothes?
Destiny may wait, but the present day's at hand
They forgot to tell me how to end this show

Could it be that I'm the one
Who tied my hands behind my back?
I know that it is possible by now (whoa)
Sometime we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may
Graduate into a perfect state--
A perfect state of mind

I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind that wanders
Off in search of something
And I'm gonna get there

Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may fall away
Sometime we might crawl
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state--
A perfect state of mind
