Lighthouse Keeper
Catch a break, catch a plane, catch something else
It's hard to catch the truth when you've been running from yourself
Take a long shower, take a day or two
Just do things in your own time
Do what you've gotta do
You want to be a lighthouse keeper
All alone at the very edge of the world?
Go ahead young girl
You wanna be a lion tamer, get your head bitten off any way you can?
Go ahead young man
All I'm saying is I know people
Finding redemption under a bridge
The path to happy ain't straight
So get your kicks any way that you can kid
You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails
All it takes is a moment for your good intentions to prevail
And they won't
Fail
You reckon you're Mother Theresa
And yours alone is the world to save?
Well, I remember those days
You reckon you're Mahatma Gandhi
And not eating is gonna prove 'em all wrong?
We're too far gone
Why not try patience?
Try kindness?
Try something new!
Take 10 minutes, have a breather, yeah take some time to just do you
You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails
All it takes is a moment
For your good intentions to prevail
And they won't fail
It's hard to catch the truth when you've been running from yourself
Take a long shower, take a day or two
Just do things in your own time
Do what you've gotta do
You want to be a lighthouse keeper
All alone at the very edge of the world?
Go ahead young girl
You wanna be a lion tamer, get your head bitten off any way you can?
Go ahead young man
All I'm saying is I know people
Finding redemption under a bridge
The path to happy ain't straight
So get your kicks any way that you can kid
You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails
All it takes is a moment for your good intentions to prevail
And they won't
Fail
You reckon you're Mother Theresa
And yours alone is the world to save?
Well, I remember those days
You reckon you're Mahatma Gandhi
And not eating is gonna prove 'em all wrong?
We're too far gone
Why not try patience?
Try kindness?
Try something new!
Take 10 minutes, have a breather, yeah take some time to just do you
You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails
All it takes is a moment
For your good intentions to prevail
And they won't fail
