Lyrics
Reservations To Live (The Way It Is)
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.
Never should rush into things
Shouldn't spill the wine before its time
Wait and see what fortune brings
Waste away till you can't see the signs
Always taught to play it safe
Wouldn't stick your neck out if you could
Everything is in its place
Might as well be chiseled out of wood
And your time's running thin
It's slipping through your fingers
With your chance to begin
Forever again
Don't know what you're waiting for
Don't need a reservation just to live
You might be expecting more
But you won't get more than you have to give
And that's just the way it is
Everyday it rains somewhere
You've got to make the best of what you have
You could tie a train out there
You better get some sunshine while you can
But you've heard this before
It's ancient information
Just walk through the door
It's not that complicated
Don't know what you're waiting for
Don't need a reservation just to live
You might be expecting more
But you won't get more than you have to give
And that's just the way it is
