Greater Heights

Another new day,

but things feel so old.

I think back to May,

October's so cold.

If the past's the way,

then my mind is gone.

We live in today,

So listen, life goes on.

Time moves by so quickly,

we move into it.

When the silence hits me,

it makes me sick.

Packed with years of history,

I finally fit in.

Sometimes it takes time,

to stretch your skin.

And we try, oh we try.

Try to move the Earth and reach these greater heights.

Oh we try,

and we always will.

Taking risks is vital.

Sacrifices too.

Ardour's such a spiral,

to fall into.

And in sweet Springs' revival,

maybe I'll catch you?

All tied down, around this town -

Who knew?

And we try, oh we try.

Try to move the Earth and reach these greater heights.

Oh we try,

and we always will.

When we're old and grey at least I'll have paid my dues.

Maybe meet one day for coffee and orange juice?

As the seasons change and these years they fade into,

Cemetery facades and photo frames,

and bitter tastes, your waste;

You lose.

And we try, oh we try.

Try to move the Earth and reach these greater heights.

Oh we try,

and we always will.

Always will.
