Paralyzed Lyrics

I used to laugh, I used to cry
I used to do everything I wanted to
I don't know when, I don't know why
But somewhere I must have lost that guy I knew
With a drink or two
Any bad excuse would do

I would like to quit my job, take a trip around the world
I would like to live for love, but I'm scared of being hurt
I would do so many things if I just could break the ice
But I'm paralyzed

Where will I be in twenty years
If I cannot change, I just don't wanna know
The days go by, I don't know why
But it's kinda hard to rearrange your life
When your fear's your gloom
Any bad excuse will do

I would like to dive for pearls, but the water's way too deep
I would like to live my dream, but I cannot even sleep
I would like to taste the rain somewhere close to Paradise
But I'm paralyzed

I would like to play guitar, but it's always out of tune
I would like to write a song, but I cannot find a rhyme
I would do so many things; I just have to break the ice
But I'm paralyzed

I used to laugh, I used to cry
I don't know when, I don't know why
Where will I be in twenty years
I don't know, I don't know
