Potential Energy Lyrics

So what are you doing with the rest of your life

The old critic wants to know

Cause after all these years, honey

You don't have anything to show

So I hid inside myself and left those curtains drawn

Cause I just couldn't bear being wrong

But sound waves will bend and they'll find me

And until I move I'm just potential energy

So I went digital right back to before

To see what the stars were doing on the day I was born

But they didn't really have all that much to say

Except that I better try to save my own day

And I follow that golden rule

Even thought I don't want or even mean to

It's cause and effect coming right at me

And until I look I'm just potential energy

Have a problem with my existence

It's something I just can't make right

Wishing I could settle for someone

To come and hold me tight

I'm sick of waiting here for time

And all that it's going to do for me

'Cause I can make it go fast or slow

So I can focus on what I want to see

So what are you doing with the rest of your life?

Hey can you really know?

Cause I know I gave you a green light

But I meant to say no

So I look inside myself to see if I'm aware

That this whole time I was just scared

But the Universe is calling to me

And until I listen I'm just potential energy
