Hard Times

Drawn to her pseudo-purity
Looks barely more than 23
I entertain the revery that we could fool around
She says 'this one he seems strange to me'
I'll tell you I'm a mystery
And if you're feeling inclined you can try to work it out

It's been hard times waiting here so long
It's been hard times waiting for the one
It's a hard life hiding from the sun
But you're so young
So run run run run run

And in this dream you have a smoke
And I sit and tell my favourite jokes
And if you're feeling generous you'll try to crack a smile
And when it seems you start to care
Its at this point that I get scared
that if you knew me inside then you'd want to run a mile

And it's been hard times waiting here so long
And it's been hard times waiting for the one
It's a hard life sucked into this role
And you're so young
So run run run run run

Never really known how to ask for help
After all thats passed should've learnt it well
Can't live your life like you're someone else
Flags are at half mast 'cos I'm afraid to tell
If I can be everything you want
And this is how I hide
Hurts less to just lose them from the start

Ever since I was 23
I've been stuck in a revery
It's easier than facing all of what this life's about
But even in these crazy dreams
It seems I still cannot succeed
Its time to try to try but I cant overcome my doubts

And it's been hard times waiting here so long
And it's been hard times waiting for the one
It's a hard life holding off the gun
And you're so young
So run run run run run

Never really known how to ask for help
After all thats passed should've learnt it well
Can't live your life like you're someone else
Flags are at half mast 'cos I'm afraid to tell
If I can be everything you want
