Lyrics
Distraction
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.
The elms are high round here
The water's clear, the air is pure
Is this the life you hungered for?
But oh you waver so
The youthful ways of city nights
Could tempt you back without a fight
'Cause life is never enough
Gone is the boy who never said much
Tonight, there's always tonight
Where roads won't ever divide
We lock our lives up tight and tell ourselves
We'll be ok, that soon our trials will slip away
But times are turning bad
The war has made it to our shores
The wolf is there outside the door
And life is getting too much, oh
For the heart that's journeyed enough
Tonight, there's always tonight
Where roads won't ever divide
Tonight, tonight
So drag your fears below the water
And drown the memories you saved
Distraction, distraction
