Under the Sun

You have your walk through the park
You have your Sunday drive
You have your weeds to pull from your garden
If you want to

But you have only enough air to breathe
And you have just enough space to live
You have your obligations to keep
And now you'll have this lullaby
To sing you to sleep

You've got everything under the sun
But it's only going to make things harder
To leave before they've even begun
But, don't you know, sometimes that's better

You have your man
You say, you've been trying to leave him for years
And you've had your bouts with misery
And you've shed your fair share of tears

But still you smile when he takes you by the arm
Or does it just take you that long to sound the alarm?

You've got everything under the sun
But it's only going to make things harder
To leave before they've even begun
But, don't you know, sometimes that's better

I see you five years down the road and say hello
How you doing now?
It's been so long
Tell me was I wrong?
When I said, you have to wait your turn
Just like anybody else
If you want to shine
You know you've got to burn
And if you know what's good for you
You'll turn around and run

You've got everything under the sun
But it's only going to make things harder
To leave before they've even begun
But, don't you know, sometimes that's better
