Lyrics
Life only lets you come so far. When do you realize who you are? You face yourself from day to day. Why do you try to run away? There’s really no place you can hide. You fight the demons deep inside. Even the mirror hides your face. You’re somewhere between time and space.
Life has a way to balance the scale. It doesn’t matter if you pass or fail You’re lonely. Oh... You’re lonely. Life’s like a train jumping off of the rails. Like an air-o-plane without a tail. You’re falling Oh...you’re falling
We always search for something more, wait for the balance to restore. We look for some symmetry all in our struggle to be free. Free from the chains that bind our heart. Not really sure just where to start, I’ll just follow where you lead. Maybe it’s my new destiny.
Life has a way to balance the scale. It doesn’t matter if you pass or fail You’re lonely. Oh... You’re lonely. Life’s like a sailboat without a sail. Lost in the wilderness without a trail. You’ll show me Oh...you’ll show me
There’s really no difference here. You’re looking for love to re-appear but it’s not coming.
Life has a way to balance the scale. It doesn’t matter if you pass or fail You’re lonely. Oh... You’re lonely. Life’s like a train jumping off of the rails. Like an air-o-plane without a tail. You’re falling Oh...you’re falling
