Duncan Sheik - Reasons For Living lyrics

Everyone hides

Everyone's telling, but everyone lies

They're changing the subject

They're turning away

Away from the heart of it all

You say you are happy,

That you think this is fun

But it's only a firefly to the light of the sun

You say this is living

You feel so alive,

Well, you know, everything dies

(chorus)

Even my wonder

Even my fear

Only amount to a couple of tears

There is a rhythm

It's near and it's far

It flows through the heart of us

Welcome to another day

It don't seem that different 'cuz nothing has changed

Try to remember

Try to remember

When weren't just running in place

Reasons for living

Never come cheap

And even your best ones can put me to sleep

What I am saying,

Trying to say

Is that there must be a better way

(repeat chorus)

It's already in you

It's already there

You may disagree, but I don't really care

Did you ever find out,

You ever find out

What's at the heart of us?

Did you ever find out,

You ever find out

What's at the heart?

Tell me all your wildest dreams

I don't really care you don't know what they mean

Raiding the closets

The skeleton keys

You know, it's easier than you think

(repeat chorus)

Your reasons for living

Are all very fine

They're leaving me cold, though they're not really mine

Did you ever find out,

Did you ever find out

What's at the heart of us?

I don't know

I don't know, oh, oh
