The Way We Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watch you growing
Sometimes I see myself in you
It can be scary but kinda funny too
I hear you talking a lot of similarities
Your choice of words and all the fantasies
Just the way we are I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves
Sure makes us weird falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
The way you make us all smile
And the despair when you just won't go to sleep
You could have me walking a mile
To make you smile
Still it's not really a weep
I know you fooled me a million times
I just can't help it don't know why
Just the way we are I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves
Sure makes us weird falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
I know you hate it
But they really have to do what they do
You're crying out your wishes I understand
Yet they don't have a clue
Just the way we are I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves
Sure makes us weird falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
Falling down from a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
