Lyrics

Faces

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'm waiting helpless and wanting more oh

I have been here before

So what's the next step is it up or down

Please [take*] me to the door

But there are too many faces too many faces

And I don't know what they're all for

So give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in-between

I just want to know what is real

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in-between

Cause I don't want to fight this any more

I'm living for sure

Yi yi yi yi yi yi...

I'm on the outside and I'm peering in

But things don't look like what they have been no

There are too many races too many races

And I don't really want to win

So give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

I just want to know what is real

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

Cause I don't want to fight this any more

I'm living for sure

I promise I will never take more than I can give

But I don't want to play these silly games

No, I just want to live so please

Take off your mask and show me all that you are

Because life is better when you are not busy playing parts.

Yes I said life is better when you are not busy playing parts.

Yes it is, life is better when you are not playing with

Faces

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

I just want to know what is real

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

Cause I don't want to fight this any more

I'm living for sure

I'm living for sure

Why am I running I am running so far oh

Just to figure out who you all are

And there are too many questions too many questions

And all the answers seem so far

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

I just want to know what is real

Give me earthquakes and heartache

And everything that's in between

Cause I don't want to fight this any more

I'm living for sure

I'm living for sure, yeah

Yi yi yi yi yi yi yi...
