You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness
Well is this why you cling to every little thing
And pulverize and derange all your senses
Maybe life is a song but you're scared to sing along
Until the very ending
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From the chains and shackles that they're in
Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free
In a dark and storming sea
You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking fast
You say that you know that the good Lord's in control
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless soul
But at the end of the day when every price has been paid
You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of gold
And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid to die
You'll die like you're afraid to go
Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas that strengthen who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds
From chains and shackles that they're in
From the chains and shackles that they're in
Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep
You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
-Patrick Park
We are nowhere and it's now
And like a ten minute dream in the passenger seat
While the world was flying by
I havent been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime.
-Bright Eyes
Come on skinny love just last the year.
-Bon Iver
In this great future, you can't forget your past, so dry your tears I say.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.
Open up your eyes and look within, are you satisfied with the life your livin'?
-Bob Marley
Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it's gone
So close your eyes and feel the way I am with you now
Believe there's nothing wrong.
You think that I want to run and hide
I keep it all locked up inside, but I just want you to find me
I'm not running, I'm not hiding,
If you dig a little deeper, you will find me.
-James Morrison
Baby close your eyes
Don't open till the morning light
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet
-The Fray
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
-The Fray
Isn't very difficult to see why
you are the way you are.
Doesn't take a genius
to realise that sometimes life is hard.
It's gonna take time
but you'll just have to wait.
You're gonna be fine
but in the meantime.
I'm over here, lady
Let me wipe your tears away.
Come a little nearer, baby
'cause you'll heal over,
heal over,
heal over someday.
I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
that these feeling are in the past.
No, it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
because pain is built to last.
Everybody sails alone
oh, but we can travel side by side.
Even if you fail,
you know that no one really minds.
I'm over here, lady
Let me wipe your tears away.
Come a little nearer, baby
'cause you'll heal over,
heal over,
heal over someday.
Don't hold on,
but don't let go,
I know it's so hard.
you've got to try to
trust yourself.
I know it's so hard.
so hard, yeah.
I'm over here, lady
Let me wipe your tears away.
Come a little nearer, baby
'cause you'll heal over,
heal over,
heal over someday.
yeah you're gonna heal over.
