lyrics

Picture an oasis, inviting and lush
You never really get there, well that feels a lot like us
You never catch a rainbow, still it’s nice to believe
There might be something real there, just like you and me

I can whisper something to you, shout into your ear
It doesn’t mean that much if you don’t want to hear
Still you don’t believe it, that the truth works best of all
Not knowing if you win or lose, if we stand or fall (but it’s a)

Hard lesson to learn, yes it’s a hard lesson to learn
When the bridges have been burned, the seasons have all turned
Yes, it’s a hard lesson to learn

Did you ever wake up screaming about what it means to be?
The past and future don’t exist and now to fast to see
Consider the things we rise above, consider the things we hate
Trying hard to take control and leave the rest to fate

Think who you would like to be, think who you have been
Counting all your blessings, subtracting all your sins
Convince yourself that somehow that must be a purpose to it all
You’re waiting for the answer, you’re waiting for a call

Think of the situation, think of the life you live
Things that must be learned like when to take and when to give
Look me in the eyes. Tell me what you see
When you reach the bottom is it you or is it me

Try to look deep down inside to see just what is real
Feelings can be genuine or something that you steal
Keep the things you need to be locked behind a door
Feel the need to set them free, that’s what loves is for (but it’s a)

Hard lesson to learn, yes it’s a hard lesson to learn
When the bridges have been burned, the pages have been turned
Yes, it’s a hard lesson to learn
