Here to Stay

06/03/05

We could spend our whole life just trying to find perfection

We may even think we found it for a while

We may claim we’ve solved the riddles of our obsessions

We may swear we’ve seen the truth now in a smile

But each time it seems we are denied eventually

As every smile that catches our eye somehow sadly leave

Just holding on to sand has left us feeling weak and dry

Oh but come on pal, let’s hold on now, and let’s see what’s behind the lie

(Music)

So can we simply learn to let go of some of the visions we once had

All those dreams and schemes just keep us sleeping deeply friend

Now this may sound strange, what you’re hearing today but that’s okay

Cause fella this time a more fulfilling life is here to stay

Our standards were too high and we never had the time to enjoy the breeze

Our movements were too rushed, always in a frenzied fuss so much it seemed

Even when a pretty girl came in our lonely world we could barely see

That love was waiting for us to open the door and finally enter peace

But instead we chose to be super human so to speak and love did pass

While determined to be tough, to be strong enough we finished last

Still as we’ve said before, we’re really no more than how we feel

But as long as we are chained by the fear of pain we will not be healed

So let us come back down from the crazy clouds that fog our eyes

And give up the need to be so sweet and being so right

Let go now of the convictions pal and the righteousness

And just learn to be a little more free and soon time will tell

That life can be lived, without all the shit of being the best

There’s still time to find the beat, as we tap our feet with each new step

Then before we know it friend, a new life will begin and even happiness

And we will finally see, what it is to redeem when we let it all pass

So don’t waste another minute, just get back in the rhythm of a soothing song

And be willing for the chance to let true romance come and take you along

I know it’s been a while to let your self smile and feel so tall

Oh but come on fella, I’ll be there with a’ there’s no way we can get it wrong

When we simply learn to let go of some of the visions we once had

All the dreams and schemes just keep us sleeping deeply friend

Now this may sound strange, what you’re hearing today but that’s okay

Cause fella this time a more fulfilling life is here to stay

Our standards were too high and we never had the time to enjoy the breeze

Our movements were too rushed, always in a frenzied fuss so much it seemed

Even when a pretty girl came in our lonely world we could barely see

That love was waiting for us to open the door and finally enter peace
