lyrics

You
Wanna be home
But your home
is so alone

Your
Lack of cash
And your life
Are just fine

You
Want a world
Where everyone's nice
But everyone's poor

When
We reach out
The moon
Spits out stars

And our world becomes a little brighter
Only from the ground we see our neighbors

Why
is it so hard
To have power
And have a heart

When
would you live
If you had
Just one choice

Would you live today or tomorrow
Would it be a day in the eighties

Because some days will be a little sour
but you should know that nothing ever stays the same
Sometimes it's going to be a little harder
But you know you always have a place to start

But you run
You run away from it
The feeling that now is the best there is
That yesterday sucked and tomorrow's worse
and it comes
It goes as we sit
and watch the world turn and hear the clock tick
What if right now is the best there is

But you run
