Temporary World

A temporary lover
A temporary girl
Living temporary lives
In this temporary world
Watching tides roll out
Seeing storms come and pass
When nothing lasts forever
And the moment wont last

Moving through the mind games
Shuffled like a pawn
A taste of what you needed
Already come and gone
Yeah she came on like a breeze and left you hanging like a sheet

It's a temporary setback
It's a temporary thrill
Like the seasons in the garden
The weeds and the daffodils
Watch the flowers rise up
Watch the tiny petals fall
And time just won't hold on
To anything at all

Looking in the mirror
What you trying to prove?
Don't you see the stranger
Staring back at you
I had my time
Running hot and running blind
And I'm still looking for that peace of mind

Ain't no use in holding on
Holding on

It's a temporary glimpse
And a taste of something more
A temporary head rush
Maybe you felt it once before?
You were so much younger than
But you're so much smarter now
Are the signs passing too fast
Have you forgotten how?

And everybody tells you
Take your curtain call
But you insist to entertain
The shadows on the wall
Temporary losses
And temporary gains
And the deepest of all
Stay running through your veins

Mmm mmm we live temporary lives
