lyrics

Older is not always wiser
Wiser is not always best
This is the way that our lives work
How can we call ourselves blessed

Everyone wants to be strangers
Mystery seems to work well
But how would you feel if your secrets revealed
That you never had secrets to tell

After the hurts and the heartaches
After the curses and cries
After the truths have been found once again
To be harder to hear than the lies

When the flush of the season has faded
And you feel the first chill of the fall
Do you find yourself thinking of ships that are sinking
Or thinking just nothing at all

What do you want that’s gonna make this life worth living
What have we got in our souls that’s still worth giving
We got love

Every day brings up choices
Finally it ends up as one
Every night we can pray we were right
And then wonder what we might have done

Look at the faces around you
Look at the toll that it takes
It’s the right to be free that we lose as the fee
When it looks like it’s all been mistakes

What do you want...

Imagine what life would be like if it happened
Exactly the way that it does
Then you could look back on the times that you made it
Exactly the things that it was

You can’t change the world in a lifetime
You can’t even change your best friend
But that doesn’t mean that you sit around waiting
For everything ugly to end

You give what you can ‘cause you’ve got to
No matter what might have been done
There is always one more that is worth fighting for
Someday you may find out you’re the one
