lyrics

The things you've had

Somebody save me from the big time
I've seen all that I can do. Proven all that I set out to prove
Did all that I had to do
Pitch a tent out in the desert, a million miles from the truth
Just like a one sided truce, you hiding has no use.
You're not where you are, you're what you do

Everybody's waiting for their big break,
but nobody's ready for the big fall.
What kind of runner doesn't like to run?
A fugitive of the things you want, to hold on to.
The things you've had you'd grown accustomed to,
but they might leave you,
And there is nothing you can say once they have gone.
Once you've got what you want it's done.

Everybody always wants to barter,
but what did you trade for what you trade?
Could it have served better use, to have stayed at home with you?
We all do what we were born to do.
