So now your life has left you with a feeling That dreams are only for the chosen few That what was going on while you were sleeping Came and went away and now it's all too late That time is up and that you should be leaving That there's nothing left round here for you to do That talk is cheap and looks can be deceiving Cause it's cold inside your heart, and you're all black and blue Ever since she went away You've been feeling out of shape There's nothing left to celebrate and you're stuck on your own Sitting in a lonely place Cautious like a renegade She disappeared without a trace and left you all alone Now you're hiding from the light Trying to cover up your eyes Running to the other side whenever she's around Love has been a lonely town Ever since she broke you down And you don't ever want to fall out of love again Dancing like you've gone and caught a fever The sun has got you blinded by the light Down and out while swimming up the river Deep into the blue in a blue bayou You wanna go to where the grass is greener The days are flashing by before your eyes But the nights are long and you are a believer And that big old paper moon is shining down on you Ever since she went away You've been feeling out of shape There's nothing left to celebrate and you're stuck on your own Sitting in a lonely place Cautious like a renegade She disappeared without a trace and left you all alone Now you're hiding from the light Trying to cover up your eyes Running to the other side whenever she's around Love has been a lonely town Ever since she broke you down And you don't ever want to fall out of love again

And you go to the club And you go to your job And you do what you can Working for the man And you sit at home Totally alone Waiting by the phone For someone to call Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for reality to kick in Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for the grand awakening Waiting for your life to begin And you try and try To appreciate your life And you dont know why It just passes by You dont understand Whats the greater plan And you call your dad Cause it makes you sad Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for reality to kick in Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for the grand awakening Waiting for your life to begin Year after year Just slips through your fingers Days disappear And grow into memories You look at yourself Staring back in the mirror And think to yourself 'It is oh so good to have you here' And it makes you cry Makes you feel alive And Happy inside Almost like a child Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for reality to kick in Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for your life to begin Waiting for the grand awakening Waiting for your life to begin

Do you ever think that what lies between Now and tomorrow could be all that's left of your life Do you ever listen when all your friends tell you the sparkle is Missing from within your eyes Don't you ever feel excited Or just the need to take control And release yourself To listen to the voice that's crying From somewhere deep inside your soul Out for happiness Give in to me and my convictions I know that you're running from feelings and words that will hurt you With everything that you have I can tell you're spending your days alone running in circles Because you're all troubled and sad I believe that life is greater Than you and I will ever know For what it's worth That love is keeping us together That giving in and letting go Speaks louder than words If you're afraid of uncertainty and heartache To lose the ones you love You're too tough to learn from all your flaws and mistakes It's only logical Cause I believe that life is greater Than you and I will ever know For what it's worth That love is keeping us together That giving in and letting go Speaks louder than words So if you ever feel excited Or just the need to take control And release yourself Listen to the voice that's crying From somewhere deep inside your soul Out for happiness Give in to me and my convictions My convictions Give in to me and my convictions My convictions
