lyrics

Well in my rush to reach adulthood, I forgot to have a youth
And in the haze of lazy summer days I let euphoria overwhelm the truth
Falling through the years
Impossible to steer
Time has never loomed so near
I'm chasing Arcadia

In the murkiness of memory I saw a shadow lurk
Holding out an envelope with every duty I have ever shirked
He reached out and took my hand
Carried me to land
Smiling, he buried me in sand
I'm chasing Arcadia

Are we all waiting for better tasting meals?
Can we look forward to picnics in Elysian fields?
Or is this the opening act
To empty promises
And broken, superficial deals?
We're chasing Arcadia
