Reasons For Living

Duncan Sheik

4

Everyone's looking, everyone hides

Everyone's telling, but everyone lies

We're changing the subject, we're turning away

Away from the heart of it all

You say you are happy

Do you think this is fun?

Well it's only a firefly to the light of the sun

You say this is living, you feel so alive

Well you know everything dies

Even my wonder, even my fear

Only amount to a couple of tears

There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far

It flows through the heart of us

Welcome to another day

It doesn't seem that different 'cause nothing has changed

I try to remember, try to remember

When we were just running in place

Resons for living, never come cheap

But even your best ones can put me to sleep

What I am saying or trying to say

Is that there must be a better way

Even my wonder, even my fear

Only amount to a couple of tears

There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far

It flows through the heart of us

It's already in you, it's already there

You may disagree, but I don't really care

Did you ever find out, did you ever find out

What's at the hear of us?

Did you ever find out, did you ever find out What's at the heart?

Tell me all you wildest dreams

I don't really care if you don't know what they mean

We're raiding the closets with skeleton keys

You know it's easier than you think

Even my wonder, even my fear

Only amount to a couple of tears

There is a rhythm, it's near and it's far

It flows through the heart of us

Your reasons for living are all very fine

But they're leaving me cold, they're not really mine

Did you ever find out, did you ever find out?

What's at the heart of us?

I don't know

I don't know
