Reach

Think I’m gonna learn a language
Think I’m gonna terraform Mars
Think I’m gonna grow some lima beans
Use em to run my cars

Oh, you don’t need no more reach
You just gotta
You don’t need no more reach
You just gotta reach more

Gonna learn to read your palm
Tell you all about you
Tell you about your past
Tell you ‘bout your future too

Oh, you don’t need no more reach
You just gotta
You don’t need no more reach
You just gotta reach more

Isn’t it amazing how long you can sometimes go
Stayin in the middle not really goin high or low
Maybe for years tryin not to be too soft or loud
And all at once you see there’s space in the clouds

Think I’m gonna pack a bag
Some pens, a book, magazine
Stick my thumb out down by the highway
Maybe someone’s driving to Eugene

Oh, you don’t need no more reach
You just gotta
You don’t need no more reach
You just gotta reach more
